A pack of rescued Siberian huskies were left stranded after bushfires engulfed Australia’s Victoria fire zone. Their owner refused to leave his dogs behind as many members of the town were airlifted in a military evacuation. Now he’s being hailed as a hero.
Sled dog tour operator Brett Hadden, his partner Neisha Gschwend, and their huskies fled their Mount Buller property on Jan. 5, 2020. They ended up seeking shelter at showgrounds in Omeo, Victoria. Chinook helicopters were conducting an airlift evacuation to safer ground but were only able to transport people, not animals.
