She saw something so adorable that she had to get her phone and snap a picture quickly. It was Otis the dog, carrying a big bag of dog food in its mouth, majestically walking away with it!
Dockens decided to share Otis Picture on social media with the hashtag “#refuge.” The image went viral as people started sharing it. According to Dockens, Otis was in survival mode. Therefore, rescuing a bag of food was instinct-driven. The dog must have been hungry as well, after going through the rough night.

Dockens communicated with Otis’ Dad later that day and found out that the dog got home safely with the bag of food. No one knows whose dog food it belonged to though, as the owner rendered no response to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
