LODI, N.Y. — Mandatory evacuations of Lodi Point due to flooding has left one unlucky dog with quite the tale.

"It's really devastating when you watch everything you own just go down the creek into the lake," said Karen Mott of Stuart, Florida. "It's very devastating."

Mott says her family was vacationing this summer in Lodi Point when the storm hit, literally washing away their vacation home. 

"I brought half my life with me," Mott said. "Almost all of my clothes, all my jewelry. Everything is gone."

She, her husband, sister, brother-in-law and two dogs were all evacuated to a Red Cross shelter at the Ovid Federated Church.

"You can't explain it. You have to live through it," Mott said. "But right now it's not even registering. We're just happy to be dry, and we have food."

But for Mott's dog Cookie, she's lived through it twice.

 

 

"They flew 1,000 dogs over from Puerto Rico into South Florida, and we got to rescue her from Hurricane Maria." Mott said.

Then Cookie had to go through this six months later.

"I wish — I should've bought a lottery ticket, but then again my luck hasn't been very good today," Mott said.

Mott says Cookie has been taking it all in stride, along with her new sister Salty.

"She's really done well, she's got her sister here," Mott said. "She's had quite the life, quite the life."
