In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, one adorable golden retriever named Max made headlines for his unexpected adventure in Sinton, Texas. After the storm wreaked havoc along the Texas coast, Max took it upon himself to grab a five-pound bag of dog food from a nearby abandoned store, returning to his home with his prize.
The day after Harvey’s landfall, Jessica Simmons was driving through Sinton, located north of Corpus Christi, assessing the damage, when she noticed a comical sight: a dog proudly trotting down the street with an unopened bag of dog food clenched in his mouth. Amused, Simmons snapped a picture and shared it online, captioning it, “This dog is strutting around Sinton TX with a whole bag of dog food! LOL.” The post quickly gained traction, going viral and being shared nearly 40,000 times.
Later, Simmons connected with Max’s owner and discovered he lived just down the street, and his name was, in fact, Max. “I spotted Max Saturday morning as he made a turn toward his home, carrying the five-pound bag of dog food,” she recounted. “Initially, I was puzzled about what he was carrying, but then I couldn’t help but think how cute he looked prancing home with his stash.” Although Max nabbed the food from a lumber store across the street, it remains unclear whether his owners have retrieved it yet.
Fortunately, Max and his family are safe following the storm. However, Sinton and Papalote, where Simmons resides, were among the areas still grappling with power and water outages, affecting over 300,000 homes as of Saturday evening. Hurricane Harvey, classified as a category four storm, unleashed 15 inches of rain and winds exceeding 130 miles per hour. Emergency responders are working tirelessly to rescue families trapped by flooding, restore power, and clear roadways as heavy rain continues to fall in the region.
Additionally, animal shelters are bracing for an influx of pets who were lost or abandoned during the storm. To support animals like Max in the Gulf area, consider reaching out to organizations such as the SPCA of Texas, Austin Pets Alive!, Dallas Animal Services, or the San Antonio Humane Society.
