Houston Hero Saves A Tiny Puppy Struggling In A Flooded Bayou, Just Moments From Drowning
You never know what kind of little fighter you’ll come across on a rainy day.
That was exactly the case in Houston, Texas, when someone spotted a tiny puppy struggling to stay afloat in a flooded bayou.
The rain had been pouring nonstop, and the water was rushing fast. And right there, caught in the middle of all that chaos, was a soaked and shivering pup named Eddy.
His whole body was soaked, and he was clinging to some reeds for dear life. He must’ve been terrified. Cold, confused, and all alone.
But thankfully, someone was walking by at just the right time and spotted Eddy’s little face peeking through the water.
The kind passerby immediately stepped in to pull him out. Eddy didn’t know it yet, but his luck had just turned around.
After that scary moment, Eddy was brought to CAMO Rescue, a safe and loving place full of people who truly care.
At first, he was pretty shaken up. You could tell he didn’t quite know who to trust. He was growly and scared, like he wasn’t sure what was coming next, as the rescue shared in a Facebook post:
“He’s very afraid and a bit of a behavior dog, but we imagine he is just very scared.”
But the team at CAMO knew exactly what he needed: peace, patience, and a soft place to land. And that’s what they gave him. Soon, the pup was placed in a loving foster home where he could finally feel safe and at ease.
Little by little, Eddy let his guard down and started to relax. He began to understand that no one was going to hurt him here. The rescue shared in an update:
“He was wary at first, but relaxed quickly for a scared little guy. He has a low growl when held and petted that seems almost like a purr, rather than a growl. He may have been raised around cats.”
Once Eddy fully adapted to his foster home, his sweet, goofy personality started to shine through. Turns out, he’s full of zoomies and loves running in the yard like a happy little whirlwind.
He’s great with kids and other pups too, as the rescue explained:
“He has been around older kids and loves them. He is crate trained, and goes outside eagerly. He gets along with other dogs… He just loves to lie close by, and to be loved.”
No one’s sure if Eddy was abandoned or just got lost, but one thing is clear: he was meant to be found.
Everyone at the rescue is amazed he survived the flood. It’s like he held on just long enough for help to arrive. Brave little pup!
Now that he’s had time to heal, Eddy’s ready for the next chapter. He’s looking for a forever home with patient people ready to shower him with love.
Eddy’s journey may have started in a flood, but now it’s leading somewhere warm, safe, and full of love. And something tells me he’s going to get there real soon.
