A Texas woman’s photo of a dog appearing to carry an entire bag of dog food in the aftermath of hurricane Harvey is going viral.
The heartbreaking photo highlights the impact of severe storms on pets.
Local resident Tiele Dockens told weather.com that she was surveilling the damage from Harvey around Sinton, which is located just outside of Corpus Christi, when she spotted Otis, a golden retriever mix, carrying the large bag.
“We are a population of about 6,000,” Dockens explained to weather.com. “We were out today clearing tree limbs from streets. Families are already starting to clean up. Our town is still out of water and power. I was driving around checking on family and friends’ properties that decided to evacuate. Otis was strolling the streets after the owner let him out.” source
“With his dog food of course,” she added.
Her photo of Otis, captioned, “This dog is walking around Sinton TX carrying a entire bag of dog food with him. LOL #refugee” has been shared over 10,000 times on Facebook.
