Family Dog Miraculously Survives Texas Floods By Hiding In Surprising Spot

A Texas family is sharing the incredible story of how their dog survived last week’s d**dly floods.

High school senior Cody Vlasek said his childhood home in Hunt was destroyed during the night of Friday, July 4. Speaking to KENS 5 on July 9, Cody said he feared the worst for his dog, who was missing after the flood.

“This used to be the living room,” Cody said, pointing to the ruins of their home. “The river was right behind our fence, and the water rose fast — it reached our waists.”

Cody’s mother, Denise, was the first to wake up as the flood hit. The family had no time to grab anything, including their dog, and rushed to a neighbor’s home uphill to escape the rising water.

“The current — it almost tripped some of us,” Cody said.

Within just 20 minutes, the Vlasek family’s home was completely flooded. Cody told KENS 5 he could hear neighbors yelling for help, but the rising water made it too dangerous to assist.

“It was awful,” he said. “You wanted to help, but deep down, you knew if you stepped outside, you might not make it.”

Days later, as the family returned to what was left of their home, Cody stumbled upon a small miracle — inside the washing machine.

“I had to break my window, and when I climbed through, I heard scratching and a whimper,” Cody said. “I turned my head around the corner and saw him just floating in the washer.”

Although Cody was overjoyed to find his dog alive, the family is still mourning painful losses. Several people they knew didn’t survive the flood.

Just nine days after the d**dly flooding that killed 129 people, new flash floods struck parts of Kerr County again on Sunday.

According to the New York Post, “life-thr**tening flash flooding” hit both Kerr and Gillespie Counties, with rainfall expected to reach 1 to 2 inches per hour. Some areas could see as much as 9 to 12 inches of rain.

The National Weather Service has issued a “considerable” flash flood warning, with alerts sent to all phones in the affected area.

The warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday.

The alert covers areas already hit hard by last week’s d**dly flooding, including Hunt and Kerrville — home to Camp Mystic, the Christian girls’ summer camp where 27 campers and counselors were ki**ed per the New York Post.
