Lucky, a Labrador Retriever, faced a terrifying experience during the floods in Conway, South Carolina. As water entered people’s homes, Lucky’s family evacuated quickly but didn’t make any effort to save him.
The poor pup cried helplessly, trapped in the flooded house for days with no way to escape. Once the rain stopped one morning, local resident Alex Scroggins and his friends went to the area to salvage what they could from their damaged homes.
From his flooded porch, Lucky spotted Alex and began whining and barking. At first, Alex assumed the dog’s owner was nearby. However, after talking to neighbors, he discovered that no one was coming for Lucky.
Realizing that Lucky would be swept away if left behind, Alex approached the hungry, scared dog. Grateful for the attention, Lucky begged to be rescued. Alex comforted him, scooped him up, and placed him in a crate. Using a couch he had found, Alex managed to get the anxious dog out of the dangerous situation.
Initially, Lucky was taken to various animal shelters, but all were overwhelmed due to the floods. Eventually, Alex decided to keep Lucky himself.
Since then, Lucky has been an incredibly loyal and appreciative friend, never leaving Alex’s side. Their story shows that even in the face of natural disasters, something beautiful can emerge.
Watch the video below to see how Alex and his friends found and rescued Lucky from his perilous predicament.
