Teen Girl and Her Dog Rescued from Flooded Rooftop

A 17-year-old girl and her dog were rescued after escaping their flooded Kentucky home. Chloe Adams was home alone as floodwater started to fill her one-story house. The teen put the dog in a plastic container on top of a couch cushion and pushed it through the rushing water to her neighbor's rooftop five hours later, her cousin paddled to the rescue in a kayak. The dog was rescued first followed by Adams.
