Videos on social media have shown the drama faced by animals affected by the floods caused by the extratropical cyclone that hit Rio Grande do Sul.

In one of the publications, father and daughter were on the streets of Muçum on Thursday night (7) in a boat, when they saw a dog in the middle of the flood.

Immediately, after seeing the animal, the daughter screamed. “Save it, dad. Grab it from above so it doesn’t fall. Poor,” said the young woman. The dog managed to climb safely into the boat, showing calmness, after being saved.

Cow is rescued from the roof of a house after a cyclone

Images of a cow on the roof of a house in the city of Estrela also attracted attention on social media last Thursday (7).

The animal had taken shelter on the second floor of a residence after the Taquari River rose as a result of the cyclone passing through Rio Grande do Sul.

A task force was organized to remove the animal, with the hiring of a crane, but the equipment was never used: with the movement and weight of the animal, the roof gave way.
