The recent torrential rains across the United States Midwest and East Coast have flooded many areas, costing area residents thousands of dollars in water damage, and forcing them to evacuate their homes. In Hazel Park, Mich., Riley, a one-year-old Pomeranian beagle, was created in the basement and almost lost his life when flood water levels rose, almost submerging his crate. Fortunately for the pup, his owner got home just in time to save him from drowning.
