The act of 2 policemen with the “last neighbor” forgotten in a fire goes viral
The devastating flames produced by forest fires often seem to have no control. Such as those that hit the Spanish island of Gran Canarias in the summer of 2019, making the complicated terrain even more difficult the tasks of control and extinction.
The excessive heat, the strong wind and the low humidity were factors that added up, leaving as a result a total of 10,000 hectares affected and more than 9,000 neighbors, who in the midst of pain, were forced to vacate their homes.
Certainly, these are moments of anguish. Some more sensitive and aware of what they love the most, tried to escape with their most valuable belongings, including animals. But sadly, others escaped without looking back and left their 4-legged friends to their fate, as if they were non-sentient objects and beings.
Although the fire happened some time ago, many remember with special emotion what happened to the “last neighbor” straggler
In those harsh scenes trying to mitigate the fire, two heroes of the SEPRONA (Nature Protection Service) of the Guardia Civil, of the Las Palmas Command, starred in a true act of genuine and disinterested love that moved the whole world to tears.
The events happened when the troops were carrying out an inspection in Cruz de Tejeda, to check that there was no one left without evacuating. Indeed, there was no human life left, but there was someone missing who was worth rescuing: an exhausted, disoriented and dehydrated puppy.
“He could not get up, nor did he have the strength to flee …”, they related the event on the networks.
”The evacuation was not complete: he was missing,” a journalist wrote next to the video of the heroes of the Civil Guard who has restored hope to humanity.
And that’s how they found the “last neighbor” lagging behind the fire and the officers did not hesitate to delicately approach to give him a drink from their own hands.
A touching image that was a light of hope in the midst of tragedy.
The agents knew exactly what to do, once they managed to gain his trust and hydrated him, they stroked his little head to make him see that he had nothing to fear.
“Everything will be fine, little one!».
The little dog, in his desperation to see that his days could end there, remained hidden in an arid and deep area, while he had a thread of faith that some kind soul would return.
His gesture was applauded by thousands of people on the networks: “This image is wonderful”, “Two tears have come out of me”, “In the midst of chaos there is still room for sensitivity”.
The puppy belonged to one of the farmhouses in the area, he did not have a microchip, so they could not find his owners. He stayed in a shelter, until some time later fortunately they were able to find his owner.
Share this news to applaud the wonderful gesture of these noble men and remember that our pets are not objects, they feel, love, suffer… And they would never forget about us! Why do we?
