RSCPA officers saved 50 pets from flood in Cumbria, England. Tim Wass, RSCPA Inspectorate said, “Our officers are trained to levels of fire and rescue services, which means we work with other emergency services to rescue people. When we passed that critical phase we went to the refuge centres to talk to people who’d been forced to leave. With their permission we went back into their homes to recover their pets.”
