Very good dog displaced by Harvey is reunited with owner, thanks to social media

He's such a good doggo!

Sometimes it takes the collective power of social media to find what's been lost.

It's the case of this story of a storm chaser who managed to track down the owner of a dog lost during Tropical Storm Harvey thanks to a Twitter appeal.

Aaron Jayjack was on his way back to Austin from Victoria, Texas, when he found the dog near a gas station.

"I picked up a little passenger here," Jayjack said in a video he posted on Twitter.

"I stopped for gas and this guy followed me down the road and when I stopped he jumped into the jeep."

He was actually trying to return home to take care of his own dogs.

"I really need help trying to find this guy’s owner. We’ll call him Harvey,” he added, calling on people to share the appeal on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media.

Jayjack said he tried to have the dog scanned for a chip with no luck:

After the post went viral, Jayjack said he might have found the owner:

The dog's real name is "Cash":

He then posted a video of the successful reunion with Cash and his owner in Runge, Texas. Cash was so excited that he tried to climb out of the window to join his owner:

He's a good boy.
