Iowa Pets Reunited with Owners
Almost a hundred Iowan pets were reunited with their owners after a raging flood separated them. The pets were held in makeshift shelters while they waited for their owners to reclaim them. Rescue workers from animal-rights agencies swept Cedar Rapids, one the areas affect the worst by the flood, looking for lost and abandoned pets. Over 24,000 people were evacuated from Cedar Rapids. Now that people are coming back, they are reclaiming their pets and trying to start over.

Losing a pet is harder than people realize.Most people spend most of their time with their pets,just like you kids,spouse,and family.Then once somone is missing tradgedy has hit their lives.I lost my lucky,a little over a year ago.He came up missing from the front porch at my mothers house while i was working.And i miss him so much.My heart goes out to these pet owners.And im happy for all the ones that get reunited again.
