Athena, a dog stranded 20 feet up a tree, is reunited with her family after devastating floods in Washington County.

Athena was found by the Kingsport Fire Department and Murfreesboro Police Department three days after being separated from her family during the floods.
K9 Kari, a police dog, played a crucial role in locating Athena by alerting rescuers to her presence in the tree.
The rescue took place near the Nolichucky River, an area heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene's historic rainfall.
Athena's owners, Allie and TJ Faulkner, expressed immense gratitude to rescuers for reuniting them with their beloved pet.
