The clip, which has received nearly 55,000 likes on Instagram within days, shows two Civil Guard officers carefully carrying the dog on a board through rushing water.
The emotional video highlights the human and animal toll of recent unprecedented floods across Spain.
Devastating floods
Severe weather, including storms and floods, has forced over 80,000 people from their homes, especially in Valencia, Albacete, Cuenca, and Cádiz.
Countless animals have also been impacted, with shelters overwhelmed, pets lost, and heart-wrenching reunions unfolding.
The Civil Guard’s social media post, “We are doing everything we can to ensure that no one is left behind, including our best friends,” has resonated deeply with the public and inspired thousands of comments.
“Heroes without capes”
One user praised the officers as “superheroes” with “hearts that come out of their chests,” while another called them “heroes without capes.”
Amid the national mourning and efforts to rebuild, Spain’s Civil Guard remains dedicated to rescuing those most vulnerable, continuing their work in honour of lost colleagues and affected communities.
Keep up the good work!
