Arizona woman REFUSES to be rescued from flooded car without her dog in viral video

The Arizona flood has been causing severe damage. There has been a surge in moisture from the North American monsoon that acted as a catalyst for the destructive storms across the internal region of the Southwest at the end of July. It also included a flood that was seconds away from taking the shape of a disaster. The authorities in Apache Junction, Arizona, were located about 30 miles east of Phoenix and had to respond to 24 calls related to the flood on July 28. Thunderstorms had turned the dry creek beds into raging rivers. 

However, out of all these, one call urged the police to a quick rescue. The police arrived at the location - Weekes Wash- and found a partially submerged vehicle. Footage of the moment has gone viral and show the police and one bystander working to save a woman. Her vehicle was submerged in the waters in a couple of minutes.

The woman was trapped in the car along with her dog. She told the rescuers that she would not leave until her dog was saved too. Though the police asked her to escape, she refused without giving it a second thought. In the viral video, one of the rescuers was seen breaking the car's window even before asking the woman if she could crawl. She said, "I don't want to leave my dog," while struggling to come out of the rear right window. By the time she made it out of the window, the front of the car was completely submerged. Though one of the rescuers said, "I will get your dog," they were unable to save the animal.
