When Disaster Hits, Dogs Come To The Rescue

This year the U.S. has experienced devastating natural disasters.

Outbreaks of tornadoes leveled entire neighborhoods.

Flooding trapped people in their homes.

Wildfires burned out of control.

When people go missing during these catastrophes, it’s a race against time to find them alive – or their remains.

That crucial search is often carried out by specially trained dogs.

FEMA has 280 certified detection dogs trained to find people in disasters. Another 80 dogs are trained to search for human remains.

NPR’s Scott Detrow visits a Maryland training facility where dogs, and their handlers, learn skills that could save lives.

Husky Melts Hearts Hugging Baby Sister While They Sleep!

The moment where Millie rests her paws on Daisy is too adorable.

Millie the husky has been there since Daisy, a human child, was born. They are best friends.

Millie is very protective of Daisy and Daisy loves Millie just as much. She giggles and smiles as soon as she sees her. Even though Millie is a big large fluffy dog, Daisy isn’t int.imi.dated at all.

She lets the massive pup snuggle right up next to her. Daisy, baby gets so excited when she sees husky Millie! They love each other so much and just want to cuddle! They always fall asleep together.

According to the American Kennel Club, dogs are “smitten” with babies and have deep connections with children they spend a lot of time with.

They see children as someone they can play with and who will offer them attention.
Having a dog is said to be great for a child. Dogs make babies happy and help raise serotonin and dopamine levels. Growing up with a dog can also help strengthen a baby’s immune system.

Dogs can sense that babies are more fragile. And since dogs are protective of their pack, which in some cases are their humans, they will look after the most [vul.ner.able].

Daisy got so comfortable that she took a nice nap with her best bud.
