The staff members of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Rescue 1122 on Wednesday exhibited inspirational dedication to duty and sacred cause of saving living creatures thereby putting their own lives in danger by crossing the raging river in Lower Kohistan to rescue a stranded pet cat.
For crossing the river, the officials made arrangements of tying iron ropes to cross the raging river and for shifting a stranded family.
Their pet cat made noises to divert the attention of her owners and rescue officials.
On seeing an innocent soul in trouble and need of help, an official of Rescue 1122 went back to the other side of the river and brought the feline back to safety.
