- barbegal 5y agoHas anyone tried this method of catching and lifting a dog without the added complexity of the lava? Knowing how dogs act it seems like an extremely difficult task. Whats stopping someone hiring a helicopter with a proper winchman to lift the dogs to safety?
- barcoder 5y ago"The council told Reuters helicopters cannot fly in the area due to the hot air coming from the lava and volcanic ash that can damage the rotors, so the dogs cannot be airlifted for the moment."
