Austin rescue groups work to recover, reunite pets lost or injured in Central Texas floods

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Search and rescue crews found Superman, a brown dog with floppy ears, alone and scared on top of a pile of debris, after devastating floods hit the Hill Country and other parts of Central Texas this weekend.

According to Austin Pets Alive!, Superman's person died in the flood. They described the dog as "fearful and aching after being swept away from his home."

The rescue group said patient volunteers earned the dog's trust and eventually were able to move him away from the area and to safety.
