Indonesian volunteers rescue dogs from rubble of volcanic eruption

AFP English

A team of volunteers in Indonesia travels to Mount Ruang by boat on rescue missions to save abandoned pets from the foot of the volcano. Some of the animals were found trapped under rubble and thick volcanic ashes.  Mount Ruang in Indonesia's northernmost region has erupted more than half a dozen times since April 16, stirring a spectacular mix of ash, lava and lightning that forced the island's residents to be permanently relocated and thousands more evacuated.
