As people dashed to get out of danger when Hurricane Florence hit eastern parts of the United States, some animals were sadly left behind.
That’s where Peta, the animal rights organisation, came in.
Animal rescues undertaken by Peta have included dogs trapped in homes and unable to get out because of the flood water, kittens stuck up trees, and other stranded domestic animals like chickens and goats.
North Carolina has been the state most badly affected by the storm, which has killed at least 37 and left hundreds of thousands of people without power.
