A dog abandoned during #HurricaneMilton

The dog that was found tied to a fence on a Florida highway during evacuations ahead of Hurricane Milton is rehabilitating at an animal rescue facility in Tallahassee, according to a representative from the Leon County Humane Society.

The dog was initially spotted by a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol on Wednesday, along a section of Interstate 75 near Tampa.

Video taken by the trooper showed the dog, unable to move from the fence, standing in a pool of water that had already risen up to its belly.
