Katrina victim reunited with dog in St. Louis

October 5th, 2005

A New Orleans man forced to leave his dog Rover behind when he evacuated the city has been reunited with his pet in St. Louis.

After scouring the Internet for a picture of Rover and hoping that his dog had been rescued, Bobby Alberti finally found him at the Humane Society shelter in St. Louis.

“Oh, I got you back,” he said over Rover’s excited panting. “I never thought I would get you back.”

  1. I always hear that St. Louis is going to the dogs. Maybe there is some truth to that. Houston takes in people. We get the black labradors.
