Amidst disaster’s chaos, we often overlook that our four-legged companions also require assistance in finding safety. Amidst the aftermath of a destructive fire, reporter Gina Silva and her team encountered a distressing scene.
Kenny, a valiant horse, had struggled to escape his stable but became ensnared in a wall just outside. Hindered by smoke and flames, Gina and her team couldn’t rescue Kenny alone. Meanwhile, firefighters were focused on battling the relentless blaze.

In a stroke of brilliance, Gina leveraged her journalistic reach, taking to Twitter to call for help. In a mere 20 minutes, a surge of responses flooded in from across the city. A veterinarian administered tranquilizers, and with collective efforts, the rescuers dismantled the barrier until it was large enough for Kenny to pass through.
At 23 years old, Kenny found solace in a veterinary clinic to recover. Soon, he joyously reunited with his owner, his well-being restored. Amidst the terror, a glimmer of hope shone through, all thanks to Gina’s timely and decisive action.
