Chelsea Kasper was driving through the Sam Houston National Forest, 50 miles north of Houston, shortly after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, when something caught her eye.

“I thought I saw an animal in a creek in the forest. I did a double take. It was a dog,” Kasper told The Dodo. “I stopped in the middle of the road to look closer. She was by herself. I was worried. I said, ‘Puppy, come here,’ and she ran right over. She was so excited. She was jumping on me and licking me.”
