Casey Colvin returned home after the LA fires ravaged his home and was left in tears with what he found.
It is now day seven since over 180,000 people had to abandon their homes in search of safety following the wildfires ravaging LA. The flames have destroyed thousands of acres of lands and thousands of buildings and homes. At least 24 people have sadly been confirmed dead due to the fires while many more are missing and unaccounted for. Governor Gavin Newsom decalred it ‘one of the worst natural natural disasters in US history’.Firefighters have warned that the disaster is still very active, with fires Palisade, Easton and Hurst still actively ravaging the countryside. Amongst the heartbreak, there have been some touching moments being shared online including a video about pet owner Casey Colvin. He was anxious to get home to track down his two dogs, after having evacuated the Palisades. The resident had not been at home when they were asked to evacuate the area but his two dogs, Oreo and Tika Tika Tika were. Speaking to NBC News, the man said: “I literally rescued them [the dogs] off the street, they deserve better than this. How do I get to my house?!”In a social media post shared by the network, the man explained that a firefighter saw his distress and ‘came to help’ – entering his home to find his pets. “At that time, Casey’s home had not burned and shortly after, the firefighter returned to the staging area with Tika Tika Tika,” the journalist said.“At that time, Casey’s home had not burned and shortly after, the firefighter returned to the staging area with Tika Tika Tika,”.“We were there as Casey reunited with his sweet girl,” she added. “But Oreo, a rescue who Casey says is behavioural, apparently ran out of the house and is now missing.”Only hours later, Colvin’s home was ‘burned to the ground’ and had it not been for the heroic firefighter – both of his dogs would have been ‘trapped inside’. Then, after five heartbreaking days of searching, a stranger spotted Oreo hiding in the rubble and Colvin ran to collect them. In the video that has since gone viral, the man can be heard saying: “Oh my god, you’re alive! You’re alive! Thank you, God,” while running with his dog and fist pumping into the air.One social media user responded “Awwwww such a sweet moment. I’m glad they were able to be reunited.”Another wrote: “I would be right there with this guy, totally losing it and crying my eyes out if it were my dog. So happy for this man and his little pup!”A third agreed: “This could be the one thing that holds someone’s life together after such an immense tragedy. My heart is so full for this man I don’t even know. That dog survived the imaginable and ran straight to dad.”Watch below: https://www.instagram.com/nbcnightlynews/reel/DEyQNR0slxk
