Unconfirmed but very positive story from New Orleans
This report came to me this morning from a friend on a Malamute mailing
list. I don't have any way to verify it's truthfullness, but it's so heartwarming I thought I'd pass it on anyway. Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 22:12:37 -0700 From: edited Subject: (Fwd) Nice story from Louisana To: edited Louisana - A hurricane survivor reported the following rescue story to CNN news. He was trapped on top of his house during the recent flooding, when he heard mewing coming from the other side of the chimney. He walked over to the end of the roof and saw 4 kittens, he knew were part of a recently born litter belonging to the neighbor's cat. The mother and the 5th kitten were missing as was the family dog, a yellow Labrador. He said he sat back down to try and figure out what to do and after a few minutes he saw the dog swimming towards the house, bearing the mother cat on his back. The cat climbed on the other roof and proceeded to carry one of the kittens back to the dog, who carried both to the nearby plantation house. this process was repeated until all 5 kittens were safe in the upper level of the house. The first level was the only one flooded. The man, seeing the dog succeed in this endeavor 5 times, decided to risk the swim himself. He succeeded in reaching the balcony, and found the dog, mother cat and all 5 kittens safe in an upstairs bedroom. |
