[post_page_title]No mention of dogs[/post_page_title]
Not only did Sestini not mention anything about Bittencourt’s dogs being the reason she was in the water, but the port authority said there was no information about them. The authority explained that they were told there were only two people on the boat.

A state of emergency was declared soon after the storm hit the Brazilian region as stormy winds began to wreak havoc. Ths warning message came too late for Bittencourt and Sestini as they had already gotten caught up in the devastating storm.
