Harvey victim rescued with 21 dogs she sheltered during storm

Good Samaritans lent a hand to a Texas woman who spent 14 hours in her attic with dozens of dogs she rescued during Tropical Storm Harvey.

Betty Walter says she was saved by two men walking the neighborhood with a boat Sunday who insisted they could save her and all 21 pups, local station KPRC 2 reported.

“It was scary,” she said. “They saw me in need, and the guy said, ‘We’re going to load all the dogs. … We’re not going to separate you or the dogs.’ ”

Walter, who has four dogs of her own, was pet-sitting for a friend and also saved many of her neighbor’s dogs as Harvey raged Saturday.

The dog lover says neighboring pups were abandoned during earlier rescue efforts but she “refused” to leave them behind.

Walter posted images of the rescued dogs on the crowded boat in a Facebook post.
