The car waiting out front was already crammed full.
No space in the car. No Jake.
But Jake was more than just a pet. Davis' late husband had a special attachment to the dog. Losing Jake, even for a short time, meant losing a memory she treasured.

In case things took a turn for the worse, Jake was left on the front porch — the highest, most visible part of the house.
Rising water levels in the wake of Hurricane Matthew overwhelmed a levee, flooding many parts of the city and surrounding area.
FEMA posted images of dogs the agency rescued on Facebook hoping to reunite them with their owners.
Jake appeared on FEMA's Facebook page, pictured in the arms of a rescuer who found him at the home.

For now, Jake is staying at Tina's house while rescuers continue to comb through the disaster area, looking to bring hope to people who desperately need it.
What an incredible story! It's so good to know that there are people out there who make sure that no person or animal is forgotten during natural disasters. Jake is one lucky pooch!
