Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What So Sam. Yeah,
I have not seen anything good, no stories until this one.
Really very few, i should say, coming out of the
state of Texas here in this last week horrific flooding.
I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. I mean,
raising a river raising like twenty seven feet in one hour,

(00:21):
absolutely horrific. But then there's a story like this that's
just absolutely amazing that just can't help put a smile
on your face.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
There was a family who had to evacuate their home
because water was rushing into these homes in this area
so fast there was really no time to grab anything,
do anything, so they tried to grab all their pets
and leave immediately. Now, when they were doing this, they
couldn't find one of their dogs. And in that scenario, yeah, absolutely, I.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Mean you're looking and you're trying to do everything you can.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yes, but it's terrifying and you don't want to leave
anyone behind. I mean, it makes me super emotional thinking
about all of the things that are happening down in Texas.
This is just a very very small part of it.
But the panic of trying to grab your loved ones
and get out of there. They couldn't find their dog.
It was a blue healer that ran off during all
this chaos, and they had to make the super painful
decision to just leave the dog and so die or

(01:12):
die because that water really was coming in so fast
twenty seven feet, I mean, what.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Are you gonna do? And so days later, yep, finally.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
The floodwaters were seated. So they went back to the
home and they were like trying to look through windows
because they still could barely get into the home, and
they ended up hearing whining and scratching, and so they
busted a window to get into the laundry room, where
they found the dog inside the washing machine.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Smart dog.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
You don't even I know this dog. I don't know
how it got in there or what shut the door.
It might it must have gotten slam shut by the
water and it was sealed well enough that this dog
survived in a washing machine and they found it. And
I'm crying talking about it because I think that that's
so crazy sweet, It's just so crazy. So their dog

(02:02):
is Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Think of all these stories that are coming out of
Texas and they're just absolutely horrific, and then you have
something like this and your little canine friend. Yes, and
the only thing that with him now. And we're not
tape making light of nothing that ever happened in this instance.
But just think about this little dog now. The only
thing he's afraid of is washing washing machines. For rest life.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Probably the washing machine saved us life. Yes, these are
what the hell you guys doing? Leave and I'm tramping
a washing machine. I got all this water to play
in and out here. I just I'm just a dog.
I'm a blue heel hout. I just want to have
fun and slop and bloom around in the lake. And yeha,
you guys tram me in the washing machine? You live
me in here for five days?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Are you and me?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Come on?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
He must have crawled in there to like when he
was scared, because it's the only.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Place to go. He probably believe was one of those
stackables or something. I don't know, I have no here
he went in there and maybe he had to whearithal
to shut the doors. So there is something. I mean,
you know, you always look for the good and things
and you look and you know, you look at things
like this too, and you look at the people, the responders,
the first responders that are running right into that scene.

(03:06):
And there are people running down there from Minnesota. There
are people running in from all over the world to
go help these people in Texas. And that is the
great thing that we see. That is that's got at
work right there, man. That is that is people with
good feelings, full of the spirit, going Hey, I'm gonna
go down and help these people out. I'm gonna run
right to the tragedy and do what I can, you know.
And this story here is just something kind of lighthearted

(03:28):
coming out of it. And the only thing that they
were missing, this family, so blessed they got out of there.
And then they come back and find out their dogs
sitting in the washingrooms. I did find out that a
lot of times. But if you know a tornado's coming,
I mean, you boogy, you get out. But if you
have time to shove stuff in your dishwasher, it's supposed
to be like the safest place.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I've heard that as well. Somehow it just going up
because I would not try this on purpose.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Active blade in there, you know, and there's and then
there's all the dishes and the stuff. But if you
like throw jewelry in, there's supposed to be the safest
spot for it.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I throw it all right. Well, thank you for sharing that.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's just something positive coming out of something where every
single day it's been so heartbreaking reading everything that's coming
out of that area.
