The recent Hurricane catastrophe in Houston has caused immense uproar in the Southern Texan Coastline. Amid all the mayhem, the Texan spirit and resilience can be seen in this viral photograph of a pet dog named Otis. True Texan spirit and hope which stays on, amid all the havoc and devastation.
When Tiele Dockens; a resident from Sinton in TX was looking at the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in her neighborhood, she spotted Otis walking around with a big bag of dog food in its mouth. That is when she captured and within minutes this picture went viral on social media. The canine was separated from its owner but was determined to find its way and live on, in all the aftermath of the mammoth destruction.
Otis left its home on Friday night along with a bag full of dog food and from then Mr Sergovia, its owner was looking out for it. Otis was the same pooch who comforted Mr Sergovia’s grandson during his hospitalizations through seizures and asthma. And when Dockens saw she posted the viral picture on Facebook adding #refugee, which is already shared over 45k times.
Dockens looked after Otis to ensure it wasn’t lost and she drove it straight back to its home. On reuniting with its owners, Otis strolled straight up to the entryway patio where his owner was, sat with its food and settled down. When Segovia was asked whether it was his dog, he said Otis is an all round special and smart dog, he knows where to go pick up a treat. Nobody was there to feed him, and he picks up the dog food. Also he is a local celebrity. He can go to dairy queen and get a hamburger. He is the only dog allowed to lie down in front of county courthouse.
Otis is around 6 years of age, Segovia said. He found the German Shepherd mix when it was only a puppy. A man was driving around one day intending to simply leave the canine at some place, unless Segovia needed it. And he picked it for comforting and helping his grandson through his treatments.
Harvey continues to wreak havoc in southern coastal areas of Texas but Otis shows us the true Texan Spirit of self-reliance and being tough. In this trying time, the Texans have stood up and united. Many posts have showed how people admire this dog and its true Texan spirit
