At a Glance A Texas golden retriever mix carrying a large bag of dog food following Harvey has gone viral.

After the photo was taken, Otis was reunited with his family.

A Texas woman's photo of a dog carrying an entire bag of dog food — in the hours after Harvey barrelled through the state, leaving behind a trail of devastation — went viral, and shortly after, the pet was reunited with its family.

Local resident Tiele Dockens told weather.com that she was surveilling the damage from Harvey around Sinton, 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."

"With his dog food of course," she added.

Her photo of Otis, captioned, "This dog is walking around Sinton carrying (an) entire bag of dog food with him. LOL #refugee " has been shared over 10,000 times on Facebook, providing many locals levity as they continue to assess the damage from the major storm.

Dockens confirmed the dog was safe, and Salvador Segovia, the man who owns Otis, said he was happy the dog could inspire many with his actions, but the family probably won't ride out the next hurricane at home.

"I think Otis makes a point telling the people in Texas we will survive ," Segovia told KZTV.
