Dog stranded on roof of submerged house reunite with owners
MANILA, Philippines — The dog that got stuck on the roof of a flooded house in Nangka, Marikina City, on Thursday has reunited with its owners.
Bruno, a Labrador dog, got stranded on the roof after his owners were forced to leave him behind as rescuers were prioritizing people.
