Rescuers Followed A Whining Dog To An Urgent Scene, But Then She Wouldn’t Stop Digging

Following a concerned phone call, rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited made their way over to a very troubling scene. A nearby building had just crumbled to the ground, leaving a whimpering dog standing in the debris all by herself. Upon the workers’ arrival, though, she started to frantically dig through the wreckage.

Desperate situation

Animal Aid Unlimited, or AAU, are no strangers to helping animals in need. The workers in India have been doing all they can for years now, building quite the reputation for themselves. But few cases during that time would’ve been more dramatic than this one. The desperation was clear for all to see.

Follow the cries

Thanks to the dog’s cries, the rescuers had no problem locating her among the building’s debris. She didn’t seem to be injured, which was good news. Yet her insistence in burrowing into the pile of dirt and bricks suggested that this rescue mission was far more serious than it first appeared.

AAU’s rise

If anyone could handle it, though, it was AAU. You couldn’t have asked for a better team! The organization’s rise in India has been quite the sight and as a result it has a significant presence today. It’s been a fascinating journey as well, which we’ll get into right now. Yes, the wheels were first set in motion nearly 30 years ago.

How it all started

Back in 1994 an American couple from Seattle, Washington, named Jim and Erika started to fly to India with their little girl Claire. It didn’t take long for them to develop a real affection for the South Asian nation, with one area in particular stealing their hearts. Yep, the family became smitten with Udaipur.
