Image Of Dog Carrying Bag Of Dog Food On The Streets Of Texas Goes Viral

Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Harvey has devastated Texas, and the worst still isn’t over. Historic flooding is pounding Houston, and it’s “greatly impeding” the rescue efforts.

I’ve experienced my share of hurricanes, and there’s one thing I will NEVER understand. Why on EARTH would you leave your precious animals behind? A lot of people do that, and it blows my mind. When I have to evacuate, I don’t think twice about packing up my dogs. I’d sleep with them in my car on the side of the road before I’d even think about leaving them behind.

If you want your heart ripped out of your chest, look at this picture. I can’t take it.

However, it’s not all sad. There’s currently a viral image going around, showing a sweet pup walking on the flooded streets of Sinton, Texas carrying a bag of dog food.

Don’t worry– this isn’t a sad story!

German shepherd mix Otis, from Stinton, Texas, got loose during the hurricane on Friday night.

 

Salvador Segovia, 65, was watching Otis, his five-year-old grandson Carter’s dog. Carter had fled the city because of the flooding.

 

Segovia realized Otis was gone Friday night and even though he tried calling his name, Otis didn’t return, Chron.com reported.

 

On Saturday morning, Segovia noticed a bag of Otis’ dog food was gone from his porch, so Segovia drove around the neighborhood to look for the missing dog.

 

Meanwhile, neighbor Tiele Dockens saw Otis carrying his bag of food and took a picture, which has since gone viral.

 

She captioned the picture: ‘This dog is walking around Sinton TX carrying a entire bag of dog food with him. LOL #refugee’.

More good news– Otis has been reunited with his owner. I love that dog so much.
