On June 24, 2026, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck Venezuela, leaving at least 164 dead and nearly 1,000 injured. In the midst of the chaos, someone filmed this scene: an older man evacuating in a hurry, without letting go of either of his two dogs. He did not run alone. He did not leave them behind. He carried them.
