THIS is the heartwarming moment a pet owner reunited with his beloved dog after days of agonising search amid the deadly LA wildfires. Casey Colvin broke down in tears when his pup jumped into his arms after thinking he had been killed in the blaze. The Pacific Palisades resident had been desperately looking for Oreo since a massive wildfire swept through the area last week, destroying Colvin’s home and leaving the region in ruins.

Colvin was at work when evacuation orders were issued, sparking a frantic five-hour effort to fight through gridlocked traffic and get home to save his two dogs. Just hours later, Colvin's home was engulfed in flames, leaving him devastated and fearing the worst for his missing pup.

Determined not to give up, he began a tireless search, posting flyers and seeking help from neighbors and even a dog tracker. A breakthrough finally came days later, when Oreo was discovered sleeping amid the charred debris of what was once Colvin’s neighbor’s home.

The pooch had miraculously survived five nights alone, surrounded by the smoldering remains of the wildfire. In an emotional video capturing the reunion, Colvin can be seen approaching Oreo with a squeaky toy in one hand and his other dog tucked under his arm.
As he cooed gently to his frightened pet, Oreo cautiously approached before leaping into his arms. Overwhelmed with relief and gratitude, Colvin cried out: “Oh, thank you, Jesus! Thank you, God!” as he clutched Oreo tightly. “Hi, booboo, how’s the fire?” Colvin asked through tears as he stroked Oreo’s fur and held him close.
