After flash floods devastated a Colombian town earlier this week, police scrambled to rescue a dog caught in rushing waters.
This week heavy rains triggered a landslide that rushed through Salgar, Colombia. At least 60 people have died, the BBC reports.
Flash floods swept through the area, tearing through a ravine while destroying homes and cars. Residents had little to no warning as the waters descended. At least 1,000 have been evacuated as efforts to find survivors continue.
