Dog Chained Up During Flood Gets Adopted By The Man Who Saved Her

[Sanguine]

The only thing that is now flooding around this poor Texan pup is tender love and care.

The dog was discovered by Sheriff Troy Nehls and a news crew from KPRC in Fort Bend County last week during the record-breaking Hurricane Harvey flooding.

The dog was so overcome by the waters, only her head could be seen poking out above the surface.

When Nehls and the journalists approached the distressed animal, they realized that the dog was unable to swim away because it was tied to the porch.

Nehls and one of the journalists then plunged into the water, untied the dog’s leash, and hauled her into the rescue boat.

This story was from a previous flood, last year, but it is still a good ending to a bad situation.

That's my Sheriff, this happened last year.  The poor dog was heartworm positive, too, but is now doing very well.

That's so nice, @LadyLiberty!  Great pics.

This is the message he had for would be looters should they decide to target anyone in our county during Harvey:

I love it !!!

A lot of sheriffs sent that message. I'm sure there was some looting in the hurricane areas...but not wide spread.
