However, people are not the only ones bearing the wrath of this natural disaster. Dogs at San Mateo Pound in Rizal province – located 23km northeast of Manila – ended up being stranded on the roof.

The pound is one of the few in the Philippines that adheres to a “no-kill” policy. In a race against time, the Animal Kingdom Foundation has called for donations and supplies to rescue the animals as the pound has been mostly devastated by the typhoon.
