Dog's Eyes 'Say It All' After Firefighter Saves Him From Hurricane Flooding

As recovery efforts continue in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton , an especially sweet selfie is standing out.

“Check out this beautiful moment of pure gratitude and love!” wrote Florida’s Hillsborough County Fire Rescue in a Facebook post on Friday .

One photo included in the post shows a wet, bedraggled-looking dog gazing at a firefighter, who stares down at the camera.

“This dog’s eyes say it all as he looks at Cpt. Dusty Mascaro from our HCFR [search and rescue] team after being brought to safety,” the post said.

Another photo showed Mascaro carrying the pup, which appeared to be a Bernese mountain dog, in his arms through knee-deep floodwater.

The post did not include specifics on where the dog was found, and the county fire rescue team did not immediately return a request for comment from HuffPost. In the Facebook post, the agency added that it was “ensuring that no one — human or animal — is left behind” and had rescued 104 pets so far. Additional photos showed a group of dogs packed inside a bus.

Other dramatic animal rescues have gone viral in the wake of Hurricane Milton, which slammed into Florida on Wednesday.

Florida Highway Troopers posted a video showing the rescue of a dog left tied to a fence in rising water by the side of the road north of Tampa. The dog, now named Trooper after his rescuer’s profession, is in the care of a Florida animal shelter.

And in Fort Myers, as the rain poured down, journalist David Barcenas was able to pry a sopping wet cat meowing for help out from underneath a car while his colleague Christopher Salas filmed the rescue. Barcenas told The Washington Post that if it turns out the cat does not have a “loving family who misses her,” he wants to adopt her himself.
