Miracle in the Treetops: Athena's Incredible Post-Hurricane Rescue

Could you imagine finding your beloved pet 20 feet up a tree after a devastating hurricane? That's exactly what happened in Jonesboro, Tennessee, following Hurricane Helene. When the Kingsport Fire Department's K9 unit started barking frantically, rescuers looked up to spot Athena, a dog thought lost to the floods, perched high in a tree. Using debris as a makeshift ladder, firefighters coaxed the pup to safety. The heartwarming rescue led to a tear-jerking reunion with Athena's family. Despite losing their home, they called finding Athena "a light at the end of the tunnel." What would you do if your pet went missing in a natural disaster?
