If it’s raining cats and dogs, well, expect Tony Alsup. The 51-year-old truck driver has been crisscrossing the Carolinas this week in an old yellow school bus, rescuing stray cats and dogs and transporting animals to safety from overflowing animal shelters. Alsup bought the bus for $3,200 with his own money about a year ago, prompted by a miscommunication after he offered to help move shelter animals in his semi during Hurricane Harvey. “You’ve got to be very careful what you say on social media man,” Alsup told the News, “but I’m a man of my word.
