Dogs Rescued From Brazil Floods Overjoyed to Receive Stuffed Toys to Play With

Dogs that were rescued during the catastrophic floods in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil, couldn’t contain their excitement after receiving stuffed animals on Monday, May 13.

Footage taken and posted to Instagram by Josiane Zimmer Leal shows the happy reactions of a group of rescue dogs gnawing on stuffed animals. Leal told Storyful that because volunteers couldn’t walk the dogs due to heavy rain in the Rio Grande de Sul region, they gave the dogs stuffed toys to reduce their stress instead.

Officials said that over 12,000 animals have been rescued from the floods as of Tuesday, May 21. Credit: josianezimmer/caes_resgatados_ via Storyful
