ERU and locals save dogs in heartwarming rescues

Yesterday marked a remarkable display of solidarity and compassion in Lefkara, Cyprus, as the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) and local residents collaborated to rescue two stranded dogs, each incident unfolding in its own tale of heroism.

In the quaint village of Lefkara, ERU responders sprang into action upon receiving reports of a distressed dog in need of assistance. With a sense of urgency and determination, the team navigated through the rugged terrain to reach the canine in distress.
