A few weeks ago, the horrific chemical explosions in Beirut left the entire world stunned. Ever since the explosion happened, hundreds of people have been reported dead, and thousands of others were wounded. When the blast occurred, no one got spared, including cats, dogs, and other house pets.
Since then, the Beirut blast has been named one of the most unfortunate accidents recorded in mankind’s history. Following the explosion, this non-profit organization called Animals Lebanon immediately went to work. The volunteers wanted to help the people and the pets of the city.
The group organized search and rescue operations for animals that evacuated during the blast. Other volunteers also worked hard in rescuing other animals who might be affected by the explosion. The volunteers likewise are working hard to reunite missing pets to their families.
Fortunately, despite the sad event that transpired, there are still things to be happy about. This includes stories about dogs reuniting with their humans after the blast. A video released by Animals Lebanon showed a dog pleased to reunite with his human.
According to the dog’s fur parent, the dog ran away after the blast because he felt afraid. The dog owner thought that the dog would return, but the dog did not do so after a few hours. This made him panic, so he searched all over the place but could not find his beloved pet.
Thankfully, volunteers from the Animals Lebanon spotted the dog and rescued him. After that, the reunion between the dog and his master happened. Jason Mier, the group’s executive director, said that the work they do is a thankless job.
Despite this, Jason and the other volunteers are always happy to be of service to people. According to Jason, the Beirut blast taught them that life is indeed short.
Call for SEARCH PARTY
Our hearts go to all the people who were affected, to all those who lost people, those who were injured and those who lost their homes.
