Our Heros!
A pack of dogs were left abandoned in an evacuated Japanese town.
Sources say that the dogs were waiting for their owners, who left them with plenty of dry food, but a HUGE risk of radiation.
When one animal lover saw a news photo of a pack of shelties wandering through an abandoned town near Japan’s tsunami-damaged nuclear plant, she thought of her own 13-year-old canine and jumped into action.
In the wee hours of Sunday morning, seven brave volunteers left Tokyo and drove over broken roads and past demolished houses to meet three other volunteers in the ghost town that Minami Soma has become.
Some had prepared radiation suits and others wore simple vinyl raincoats.
It took a while to entice them with snacks, and six or seven were bundled into each car. The group saved 20 dogs in all.
We are happy to report all 20 pups are save, either reunited with their owners or in a kennel.
We are so proud of the volunteers who risked their lives for these precious pooches!
