stranded dog

Alex Scroggins was helping his mother and sister get things out of their flooded home in Conway, SC when he noticed the neighbor's dog stranded on the porch.  After making several trips to retrieve belongings, he realized that no one was coming for the dog.  The flood waters were still rising and it wouldn't be long before the dog was swept away to certain death.  Alex rescued the dog who has now been named Lucky and tried to find it a home in a no-kill shelter; but had no success.  The owner knows where the dog is but has no interest in getting it back.  After heartlessly leaving the dog behind, he doesn't deserve it anyway.  Alex has now chosen to adopt Lucky and the dog seems to know how "lucky" it really is.  rescued dog
