[Animal News]Typhoon “Little Dog” is approaching Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Observatory has hoisted a No. 8 typhoon signal. However, the violent storm has not stopped dog owners, volunteers and firefighters from giving up searching for lost dogs. Cookie, a black and white Tang dog, went missing at 10 o’clock last night. The dog’s owner Irene and many volunteers who helped find the dog found the dog on the hillside of Choi Ying Estate in Ngau Tau Kok this morning. Due to the dangerous terrain, they contacted firefighters for help. Firefighters from Ngau Chi Wan Fire Station arrived at the scene and climbed up the hillside with their bare hands to avoid danger. They successfully rescued the dog and returned it to its owner Irene.
Irene said that Cookie, who was about 5 years old, used to be a stray in Pok Fu Lam. Two years ago, flies appeared in the wound, so she rescued the dog and brought it home for adoption. They have been living together for two years now. While taking her dog for a walk in Kai Tak last night, she accidentally stepped on the sunken ground and fell. As a result, Cookie was lost with the blue leash and rope. Someone saw Cookie outside Choi Ying Village at 1 a.m., and the GPS showed that the dog was on Choi Wing Road, so the dog’s location was locked.
The Observatory subsequently hoisted typhoon signal No. 8, and the weather became severe, with winds and rain. However, Irene and many volunteers were not afraid of the wind and rain and went to the scene for search and rescue. They were assigned to different locations to search for dogs. Later, they saw Cookie appearing on the hillside. , the dog was right in front of him, so he seized the opportunity to rescue and contacted the firefighters for help.
The hillside was very sloping and it was raining heavily, making search and rescue more difficult and dangerous. However, the firefighters from Ngau Chi Wan Fire Station did not back down. They walked up the hillside with bare hands and adopted an outflanking tactic at about 4 p.m. to successfully rescue Cookie. , and Irene, who was waiting at the top of the slope, picked up her dog from the firefighters.
Irene expressed that she was very grateful to the firefighters who were not afraid of danger to help rescue the dogs, and to the many enthusiastic neighbors and volunteers. Some volunteers even braved the typhoon to come to help even if they did not live nearby. She also said with a smile that Cookie didn’t seem too scared, but was very hungry. He had already started eating in the car on the way home. The dog had many scratches on his body. After taking a bath, he fell asleep when he got home.
