Wonderfully brave dog care people! Also great that civic rescuers were able to get everyone out of there when all the other human rescues were done. This area was very prepared.

A frantic rush, and an ax, to save 42 dogs from flooding at Brentwood facility
Forty-two dogs were spending the night at the Watering Bowl dog care facility on Hanley Road in Brentwood when the water started rushing in Tuesday after the record-setting rainfall in the St. Louis region. It was 4 a.m.
The overnight manager, at a different location, called owner Jeremy King at his home in Eureka, waking him up. She told him about the flood, and he drove to the location at 2615 South Hanley Road.
"The water was chest-deep, and the current was moving," King said.
Inside the building, Clara Sage was working the overnight shift. She had been employed by the company for just one month.
Sage got the dogs out of their kennels and placed the smaller ones on tops of tables, counters — wherever there was room. She tried to get the larger dogs to higher places, too, but "numerous dogs were swimming around the lobby and the playroom because it was too deep for them to touch," King said...
