Man Rushes Out To Rescue Bunnies From Storm Drain During Downpour | Happily TV

A heroic man ran into his neighbor's yard during a flash flood to rescue four baby bunnies whose burrow had filled with water. Revekah "Beck" Dzemali, 29, from Sandwich, Illinois, received a call from her neighbor and friend saying she was concerned about the bunnies living in a burrow at the end of her yard, given that there was an incoming storm and flood warning. The area floods every easily, Beck said, and she assured her neighbor that if the area did look like it was starting to flood, her husband, Armend, would go and search for the rabbits, on July 4. But just 20 minutes later, Beck received a call to say it was too late; the area had flooded so quickly and so much water had fallen that her neighbor was convinced the bunnies had all drowned. Armend asked if the neighbor was 100 percent sure, and when Beck couldn’t give a definitive answer, the 29-year-old decided he would head out in the storm just in case. As rain poured down, Armend, carrying a box, began to dig through the flood waters, before he saw two bunnies floating on their side on the surface. He put them inside the box before coming across two more, tying his shirt around his neck, so that it was draped over the container that couldn't fill with more rain. Armend transferred the bunnies into a dry box and kept them warm until they could return to their home after the flooding had passed. The couple rebuilt the bunnies' burrow from dry grass and fur, and having put the four babies in the burrow, the couple later checked on them and discovered they had full bellies, as their mom had returned.
