<br />Hurricane Harvey couldn't keep Otis the dog down. 
<br /><img src="http://ww3.hdnux.com/photos/65/11/26/13931930/6/375x250.jpg" border="0">
<br />
<br />Saturday afternoon after returning home from adventuring around Sinton, Tx, with his bag of food in his mouth.
<br />
<br />Otis, a German shepherd mix, got loose Friday night from a screened-in back porch in Sinton, Texas, while in the care of Salvador Segovia, 65. Segovia was watching the dog, who belongs to his 5-year-old grandson Carter who had fled the city due to flooding.
<br />
<br />When Segovia went to check in on the dog Friday night, he was gone.
<br />
<br />&quot;I kept yelling his name and yelling his name and he wasn't around,&quot; Segovia told Chron.com Saturday afternoon. 
<br />
<br />Segovia checked his porch Saturday morning and noticed Otis' bag of dog food was missing. Segovia drove around his neighborhood looking for the pooch when he was flagged down by a neighbor who said they saw Otis walking around with the bag of food in his mouth.
<br />
<br />Fellow neighbor Tiele Dockens also saw Otis and snapped a photo of him with his food that went viral. The image had been shared nearly 16,000 times by 4:50 pm on Saturday.
<br />
<br />Segovia was able to track down Otis and bring him home before his grandson returned.
<br />
<br />Otis is an all around special dog, Segovia said. He's been instrumental in helping comfort Carter following numerous hospital visits for seizures and asthma. Otis is also a local celebrity.

<br />1. According to the article, Otis wasn't this man's dog and obviously the grandson wasn't able to take him with him.  
<br />2. The screened-in porch that this smart kid escaped from was at least some shelter. If his food was dry, so Otis must've kept dry.
