The massive tsunami destroyed most of the neighborhood in Sendai where Kayo Kikuchi and her father live. But somehow their two dogs, Towa and Melody, survived.
When the tsunami warnings sounded after the massive earthquake that struck Japan on Friday, Masaki Kikuchi sprinted upstairs to grab his sleeping 12-year-old daughter before racing away to escape the rushing waters.
In the backyard tied to a small shed, Mr. Kikuchi left behind two dogs: Towa, a two-year-old Sheltie and Melody, a one-year-old Golden Retriever. Mr. Kikuchi assumed the giant tsunami that flattened his neighbors' homes and whisked away their cars probably killed Towa and Melody too.
But Towa and Melody had other ideas. They somehow broke free from the ropes tying them to the shed and ran up outdoor stairs to the second floor of Mr. Kikuchi's house. And then they waited and waited. "I don't know how they survived," said Mr. Kikuchi.
Amazing! I am loving it! I will come back again. I am taking you feeds also, Thanks.

Sooo inspiring story! I love reading this story very much. For me, these dogs thought some values for all us to have faith in all circumstances and to be brave in all shortcomings. They are super dogs. I was very encouraged to find this site. And the reason is that this blog contains lots of good articles. And before leaving this page, I wanted to thank you for this detailed plotting of the subject.

Reading the whole story and watching the video could really make you think how did those dogs survive when they were tied up with ropes. But then, in the end the important thing is that they survived and now they're eminent worldwide.

This article makes me cry because it makes me remember my beloved dog. He was my first dog and we've been good friends for almost 7 years until a great disaster happened. It wasn't in a tsunami, storm, nor flood but a huge flash of fire. I can't tell you more because it hurts my feelings when I talk much about it. I just want to say before ending this comment that the owner is too lucky to have them.
