Many people – thousands even – have been required to leave their homes due to flooding in Louisiana. During this process, pets often end up left behind.
Fortunately, heroic individuals braved the flood and ventured to save the animals and ensure they do not perish.
One rescuer in particular from Baton Rouge, Mike Anderson, was heavily affected by the floods, but saw the importance of saving the animals.
Mike Anderson and friend, Darrell Watson, came upon two pit bulls who were unable to escape on their own. They were completely stranded.
Mike and Darrell understood the importance of saving all animals – of all breeds.
The dogs had spent around 16 hours holding on for dear life. 
The men have saved 100 lives already, and will continue to save more!
