Heroic volunteers have saved the lives of six dogs that were abandoned and nearly drowned in Hurricane Florence's fast-rising floods.
The heart-warming footage shows the poor pooches standing on their hind legs, in a locked cage, desperate for help.
The devastated animals were rescued from a property in Leland, North Carolina where their owners left them as they fled the hurricane.
It's clear the owners hadn't given a second thought of how the animals would fare in the violent storm.
Journalist Marcus DiPaola reported on Twitter saying: "'Rescued six dogs in Leland, NC, after the owner LEFT THEM locked in an outdoor cage that filled with flood water that was rapidly rising.
"We got them out, but by the time we left, the water was so high that they would have drowned. BRING YOUR PETS WITH YOU! #HurricaneFlorence."
In the emotional video, which has already racked up more than 1.3 million views, the dogs can be seen and heard whimpering as they see volunteer rescuer Ryan Nichols of Longview, Texas wade in the knee-deep water towards the creatures.
