"A man who lost his home in the Los Angeles fires is celebrating the miracle escape of his missing pet.

On Sunday, Jan. 12, Casey Colvin found his dog Oreo after they were separated during the Pacific Palisades evacuation five nights earlier.

According to NBC News, Colvin — who lost his home in the fire — used a dog tracker to find Oreo sleeping on the rubble of his neighbor’s property.

In a video shared on X by NBC reporter Liz Kreutz, the dog owner encouraged Oreo to come towards the neighbor's gate as he stood with a toy and his other dog.

Colvin became emotional as Oreo ran towards him before he picked his four-legged friend up.

'You’re alive, you’re alive,' Colvin cried before running across the street and cheering joyfully.'"

"When news of Andrea and Sixuan's trapped dogs reached Vigliotti, along with CBS News producer Christian Duran, who was also on the scene, the house was 'on its last legs,' said Andrea. 'We knew it was a tall order to extract all three dogs from the house.'

For one, the house was locked, but Andrea told the impromptu rescue team to 'break whatever window he could' to get inside. He also gave his best guess at where the pups — who are rescue dogs 'pre-wired with a lot of anxiety' — might be hiding in the home as the fire inched closer.

Jonathan called and said, 'We have the dogs,' remembered Andrea. 'And my first reaction was, 'All three?' I have never felt that mixture of joy, and relief, and exhaustion, and despair, and gratitude towards someone.'

(. . .)

He continued: 'Three dogs who were probably, you know, scared out of their wits and confronted with folks they'd never seen. And they navigated the situation incredibly deftly and bravely. The generosity, and kindness, and risk they put themselves through to get the dogs was really — I don't know, I think it's the best humanity has to offer.'"
