Multiple family pets drowned in a dog day care in Washington D.C. Monday after an extreme flood triggered a wall to collapse.

Firefighters rescued several workers and 20 dogs out of the District Dogs building in northeast D.C., according to D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly. Donnelly did not clarify the number of dogs passed away throughout the flood.

“The emotions, it’s hard to watch; it’s unbearable,” Donnelly said at a press conference. “This is losing a member of your family or being scared that you did.”

Pet owners desperately waited outside the center waiting and wishing to be reunited with their dog as authorities went through rescue efforts bring drenched animals to safety, according to regional outlet WUSA9. The outlet reported no workers were hospitalized.

Donnelly said water rapidly increased 6 feet up the front of the building and hurried inside the building after a wall collapsed resulting in “some casualties for the dogs.”

“I think the district dog employees were heroes,” Donnelly said.

U.S.A. TODAY has actually connected to District Dogs for remark. The northeast center is among 5 District Dog centers in Washington D.C.

Donnelly said the department will deal with the district’s water and other pertinent authorities to even more examine the event.

The National Weather Service positioned Washington D.C. under a serious thunderstorm caution that ended Monday night.
