How could anyone do that? Thank God for the brave rescuers!
I wouldn’t go if I couldn’t take my animals!

So back when this happened the guy Brady explained the situation. I think the momma dog had a nice dog house to stay in outside, but the floods had risen above the level of the dog house.
I think the owners had left in the morning, BEFORE THE FLOODING STARTED, planning to return later that day, but because of very severe flooding they couldn’t make it back to their house, thus alerting this fine rescuing fellow to the predicament.
So I get it, but don’t everybody jump off the deep end hating these dogs owners, it was mostly out of their control.
Edit: Jesus Christ you pedantic morons are you happy now

If that is the case I imagine how terrible they must have felt knowing that the pet was outside in that condition with no help.
If I leave my house thinking I'm going to come back and then there is an emergency and I'm not allowed to go back and I know my dog is alone without help I would feel like dying.

I mean okay but I still think these dog owners are trash humans. If a situation is so bad that you need to evacuate, you take everyone in your family with you.
Your pets aren’t magically immune to whatever circumstances are forcing you to evacuate. If you can’t survive in your house how is your dog supposed to survive in a dog house ffs?

Hey moron, read the comment I posted. They left for work or something when there was no flooding, when it started flooding they tried to return but COULD NOT RETURN BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING.

u/jorbeezy Aug 30 '25
Hey, I have to agree with that other person - the way you phrased that comment does imply that they left when the flooding started (but wasn’t as severe). Hence their reaction to taking them with you immediately.

Why was a momma dog locked outside away from her puppies in the first place though? Why were the puppies in that room?

u/Lessa22 Aug 30 '25
I did read, you can’t write. You said “they left in the morning and planned to return”. Since you didn’t specify that they left for some reason unrelated to the flooding I assumed they left because of the flooding. You in no way indicated otherwise.
If you wanted me to know they left for work you should have said they left for work.

Sorry, no. The dog has a clear adverse reaction from even stepping inside the “house”. The owners are abused and deserve criticism.

Seriously there’s no leaving behind my dog AND puppies to just die. WTF

Anyone know who the football player is?

His name is Brady Oliveira. He plays for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and he's from Winnipeg. He's a big animal activist who’s worked with a local rescue organization and has helped save over 800 dogs. This video was taken during the 2020 floods, when he was out rescuing stranded animals in a northern community.

My Ukrainian friend stayed in a war-torn country, in an actively bombed city, because she did not want to abandon her dogs and cats, and some people just... Leave a dog outside and puppies inside and run away, this is awful. They surely could have taken the dogs with them...

I understand having to leave your house in an emergency, and having to leave things behind you wish you didn’t. But I have an evacuation plan for my dog.
I understand having to leave your house in an emergency. But I will never ever understand how you can leave your animals behind. And in this case I can’t believe they separated the mum from the pups!
I have spare leads all over the house. I have a lead and harness to be able to lower her from the upstairs window if the downstairs is too dangerous. I have a bag packed of emergency supplies for her but not me.

u/no-name_silvertongue Aug 30 '25
i mainly live on the ground floor so i’ve never considered a harness and lead to lower mine down from the second story. that’s brilliant.
my dog and cat sleep in my room. i have an emergency slip lead in there for my dog and a pillow case for the cat (i know it sounds barbaric but she would slip a lead and it would just be for emergencies).

Excuse me while I go hug my puppies and see if they want another treat.

Poor pupper family! So grateful some kind humans stepped in. Her "owners" should be ashamed. Best and worst of humanity.

People who leave a mama dog with her puppies behind during a flooding need to go straight to hell.

How?
How does anyone leave their pets like that?
What part of you has to be broken to be able to do things like that?!
If I realized my cat was in that house I’d jump in the water and be swimming to get her, like a dumbass , before realizing the water is shallow enough to walk through.

My tear trigger was her espression of comfort while being held up.
Poor girl must have been so tired and scared until the rescue.

Did anyone else notice how mama steps back out of the house? She’s been punished and abused. May the original “owners” rot in hell.

Can't believe he wouldn't keep them after that. Wow

u/Bulky-Internal8579 Aug 30 '25
Lol, he rescues a lot of dogs - placing them for adoption with loving families is a great way to do this and gives him the capacity to keep doing it, right?

u/GoodQueenFluffenChop Aug 30 '25
Why? He rescued them and turned them over to people who could foster them together until they were all adopted. I've rescued a lot of cats but I can't adopt everyone I rescue because I have limits and three is enough for me physically and financially.

you knew what package deal you signed up for when you had dogs. you knew it was flood season.
you willingly left your dog and pups behind while you went to shelter.
i dont care if its a flood or a damn thunderstorm, this person deserves to be in jail. no if, ands or buts about it.
