Evacuation with pets

Many people are evacuated away from home hit by the earthquake and tsunami. They are staying at the place of refuge with pets.


Two elderly Japanese women and a pet dog pass by a ship that was washed into their neighborhood by the tsunami as they try to make their way to search for their destroyed home in the leveled city of Kesennuma, in northeastern Japan, Thursday March 17,2011

  1. I was just wondering about this... what happen with the pets in situation like this, I have five dogs and I live in a country where we aren't prepared even for little storms. Good to know you have a evacuation center for them too, we here are just so far away of that sort of previsions and make me think how often we take everything for granted, and especially in these cases. :)

    My thoughts are with all of you there. :)

  2. Thanks for the thought of us. I also care about people who are suffering now without their home and can't help living in the shelter.
    Pets are one of their family members but some people can't live with them because the situation can't allow them with pets. so they are lucky anyhow.
    Hope everyone recovers life as before soon.
