Last month we brought you the story of Alex Scroggins and how he came to adopt a dog named Lucky. Alex and his friends were evacuating during the recent South Carolina floods when they found Lucky abandoned and stranded in rising flood waters. Had it not been for Scroggins’ kindness, I’d hate to think what would have become of poor Lucky.

This newly released video shows exactly how the rescue went down, from the friends first hearing Lucky’s cries for help, to them loading him safely onto their makeshift raft.

When I first read Lucky’s story I couldn’t fathom how someone could leave a dog behind like that…and now that I’ve seen the video, I’m even more amazed. He seems so sweet!
