As Texas residents scrambled to evacuate and leave the comfort of their homes in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, many were left with no other option other than to leave their beloved animals behind. Other pets became frightened, running from their homes as a natural instinct to escape and find shelter. The hurricane, which at its peak was a Category 4 storm, made landfall in Texas on Friday night. The last hurricane to make landfall in the state was Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Frank fell overboard while his human dad was rescuing people from Katy High School (Katy Tx) He was swept away and heading towards 10. People have been looking for him ever since but we need all the help we can get. Frank was wearing a black harness with a red leash attached with scull tags and a tattoo on his stomach/back.”

“Otis the dog” became an internet sensation after the genius canine was seen running with a bag of dog food. He has since been reunited with his owner:
