A teenager in the US is winning the hearts on social media for saving the life of her pet dog as Kentucky reels under severe floods triggered by torrential rains.
On Thursday, as many parts of Kentucky got submerged under floodwaters, Chloe Adams watched the water levels rise around her house. The teen was alone at home with only her pet dog Sandy for company.
Acting quickly, Adams took out a plastic box, put her pet in it and, with little choice left, swam through the cold floodwaters while dragging the plastic container along.

As reported by CNN, Adams swam to the rooftop of a storage building, which was the only part of the structure that was not submerged, and sat there for hours waiting for help to arrive before she was rescued by her cousin Larry in a kayak.
On Friday, Adams’ father Terry shared a photo on Facebook that showed her sitting on a rooftop with her dog as floodwaters surrounded them. In the post, he shared that his daughter was rescued on time and narrated how she saved their pet dog’s life. It did not take long for the post to hit over 10,000 likes.
