A photo of a dog carrying a bag of (dog) food after a storm hit Texas went viral. (WaPo)

...A dog was walking down a street, carrying a big bag of dog food.

“It’s like he’s on a mission,” said Dockens, who lives a few miles away from the Segovias. “I just thought it was so cute.”

So she took a picture and shared it on her Facebook page. The photo quickly went viral, and the dog became an online celebrity.
Facebook post:

apparently taking care of 5-year-old grandson's dog during this disaster and the dog disappeared -- the bag of dog food presumably came to grandpa's house with him. Neighbors reported seeing him, and he's back safe with grandpa and child.
