NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz shared a video on Instagram of Colvin seeing Oreo for the first time in almost a week, as she documented his journey to reconnect with his rescue animals.
"OREO HAS BEEN FOUND!!! Casey called me right after my last post and told me there were eyes on Oreo," the journalist announced on Sunday, January 12. "We rushed to his street where Oreo was hiding in his neighbor's home. The moment he saw Casey he came running. An incredible moment and bright spot in such a devastating time."

Colvin, who lost his home in the fire, was ripped away from his canines after receiving an evacuation notice while at work.
"You're alive, you're alive," Colvin cried in the social media post while embracing Oreo.
"Thank you, Jesus, thank you, God," he emotionally exclaimed.

Los Angeles County firefighters have been working tirelessly to help the city's residents, and one even offered to help Colvin find Oreo and Tika Tika Tika.
However, the civil servant was only able to place Tika Tika Tika, leaving Colvin desperately searching for Oreo.
"Casey told me that hours later his home burned to the ground. Had that firefighter not offered to go get the dogs, both of them would have been trapped inside when the flames came," Kreutz said after Tika Tika Tika was spotted.

Oreo, who managed to escape from the fire, was wandering around the neighborhood, according to Colvin's pal.
Colvin relied on an AirTag, photos from the community and a professional dog hunter to continue to look for Oreo.
At one point, the pooch "was seen sleeping in the rubble of a neighbor's home."
