From HuckFunn: They really should flog the family that abandoned her. I hope she has a wonderful life and congrats to the Sheriff and his family!

A touching rescue mission has ended with a Texas sheriff adopting a dog he helped save after the pooch was found chained to a house in knee-deep flood waters with no way to escape.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls had discovered Archer, a two-year-old female Border Collie mix, tied to a front porch of a home about 30 miles southwest of Houston last Tuesday.
The dog was rescued by boat and taken to the Houston Humane Society where Nehls and his family went to visit her on Sunday.
‘Archer was super excited to see the man that had helped save her life! It was love at first sight for everyone,’ the shelter wrote in a Facebook post following the visit.
‘Archer spent all afternoon giving kisses to the whole crew! At the end, the family voted unanimously to adopt Archer and make her part of their pack!!!’
Nehls confirmed the adoption that same day on his Facebook, writing: ‘I am happy to say the only water this girl will be in now is the swimming pool in my backyard!
‘We picked her up today from the Houston Humane Society. Welcome to the family!’
‘This is infuriating,’ Sheriff Nehls wrote on his Facebook page after finding Archer left for dead. ‘These residents will get a visit from me when they return.’
