I know many people didn't have any choice but to leave their animals behind, but it's still heartbreaking to see.

Honestly though, when someone knows a Cat4 Hurricane is coming their way yet tether their dog(s) to some PVC piping in the basement? I don't get that. Hasn't anyone told them animals have a greater chance of survival when you just let them be? That is what's more important, not whether they are there when you finally come back or not.
