Pacific Palisades Resident Reunites With Dog Oreo on Video
The Pacific Palisades wildfire has torn apart so much of the affluent West L.A. neighborhood forever … but, it couldn’t tear apart this owner and his dog — ’cause the two found their way back to each other Sunday.
Here’s the deal … Liz Kreutz — an NBC News correspondent covering the devastating fires in L.A. — shared a clip Sunday monring showing a man named Casey Colvin returning to his block in Pacific Palisades to look for his dog.

Apparently, someone spotted this dog — named Oreo — in the rubble and called Casey down to the area … and, the two enjoyed a tearful reunion.
This is a must-watch clip for anyone feeling the toll from these fires … Casey is beside himself with joy — tearfully crying while holding his little furball in his arms.
According to Kreutz, Oreo has been sleeping in the rubble of a neighbor’s home for the last five days. Casey left food and water near his house in hopes of helping Oreo survive … unclear if the pup survived on that or hunted for himself.
The Palisades Fire has burned more than 23K acres since sparking last Tuesday and killed at least 16 people … while also separating pets and their owners and leaving many wild animals with nowhere to go.

All told, it’s a miracle Oreo survived … and, hopefully, many more pets like him were able to pull through this ordeal too.
