Animals, like people, were waiting to be rescued from the rain-induced flash floods in Pakistan.
A Twitter thread with both distressing and reassuring footage has been shared, demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity by saving the lives of trapped animals. A man can be seen in this video descending into a sinkhole to retrieve a lost dog. The man, with the dog at his side, descends with the help of others who are tying cloth around him.
A man named Ayaz is seen in another video rescuing a cat from a flooded town near Thatta.
The tweet explained how Ayaz had brought rescued cats and dogs from flooded villages to the camp.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Rescue 1122 also published a video in which a rescuer saves a cat.
The worker, at great peril to himself, saves the cat by dangling from a rope and wading across the raging floodwater.
Heavy floods in Charsadda led to the submergence of a dog shelter, killing roughly 40-50 animals.
Many were hurt, but the rest were brought to safety. The canines were taken on a boat to a new location for medical care.
Another viral video shows some men on a boat providing food to strays who have taken refuge on top of a structure.
