Dogs rescued from locked kennel surrounded by rising Florence floodwater

Wading through knee-deep water caused by Florence in Leland, North Carolina, they found six dogs locked inside of a flooded, outdoor kennel on Sunday.

A man unlocked the kennel, and the dogs made it through the water to dry land. Once the dogs were on dry land, the man also gave them food.

It was unclear how long the dogs were trapped inside or whether the owners were aware they were left.
