When I saw the photo of the stranded horse atop a roof in the Brazilian floods I was heart broken as I tend to care a bit more for non-human animals. But Caramelo has been rescued!
The full story and even a video of the rescue is here.
The fact that “The rescue, broadcast live on television, saw the team sedate the animal before laying him on an inflatable raft.” gives me a bit of hope for this species. Caramelo is recovering after this ordeal. The news is not as good for the rest of the victims in Brazil as the flood waters are still high with more rain predicted to come. So no drinkable water nor electricity nor the ability to call for help for many. But at least some joy and hope.
