Watch: Monterey County woman reunited with dogs after evacuation orders lifted
MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION) A joyous moment was caught on camera after evacuation orders were lifted for some areas surrounding the River Fire Monday.
The SPCA Monterey County shared video of a reunion that happened at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Laura, who lives near Corral de Tierra, was evacuated from her home, but she was able to reunite with her dogs, Marley and Shadow, when evacuation orders lifted at her home.
