BIG ISLAND, HAWAII — When the Kilauea volcano began erupting on Hawaii's Big Island, humans were not the only ones fleeing for their lives.<br /><br />As firefighters arrived to help Carol Hosely and her pets evacuate her Leilani Estates home, the two dogs decided to take off in a panic, according to Hawaii News Now.<br /><br />Hosely's Jack Russell pug mix Brus was terrified of men and decided to make a run for it with his friend Little Dude, a black terrier mix.<br /><br />Volunteers from Aloha Ilio Rescue, where Brus was adopted from just six months ago, aided Hosley in the search for the two missing dogs.<br /><br />After 10 days, volunteers found the dogs trapped between a cooled lava flow and a fence line. They had gotten stuck behind a fence and couldn't get out because of the lava surrounding them.<br /><br />The rescue group worked their way through grass and climbed through a fence to rescue the pups, who had been bitten by red ants and were badly shaken.<br /><br />For now, the pups will be staying with the rescue group until Hosley finds permanent housing.
