This Unbelievable Video Of A Man Reuniting With His Dog After The LA Fires Is Going Viral
Last Tuesday, NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz spoke with Casey Colvin, who was missing his dog named Oreo after his house was destroyed in the Palisades fire.

Oreo apparently ran away during the chaos of the evacuation.
Two days later, Oreo was spotted sleeping in what was left of a neighbor's home.
And five days after he went missing, Oreo was found, and his reunion with his owner was captured by Kreutz:

That video has gone mega-viral.
"Thrilled to see my former neighbor and good friend of 15 years back with his beloved dog! May more miracles come to everyone affected by the fires. #LosAngelesFire," one person said.

"For all the heartbreak around us, I am so happy for this man and dog," another person said.

And I like how this person phrased it: "Our souls need this tonic."
Our souls need this tonic. The elation of this man who wasn’t home and couldn’t get back when evacuations were ordered. https://t.co/MLZffdJrAc
