Unidentified flood victim clutches one of his dogs on a police jet ski as he watches Houston Police Department's Marine Enforcement Unit Officer H. Scott swim with his second dog to the watercraft amid massive flooding in north Houston.

A Houston police officer kept his cool as he rescued an overwrought Texan and his dogs amid massive flooding. It was all captured on video on his bodycam.

Marine Enforcement Unit Officer H. Scott launched the rescue as he responded Saturday to frantic calls for help from a flooded trailer park in north Houston along the San Jacinto River.

Scott maneuvered his jet ski to rescue the man, who was clutching one of his dogs in his arms in muddy water up to 10 feet deep

"Catch your breath. You good?" the officer asked as the man struggled to climb onto the back of the jet ski, and directed the cop to the location of his other dog, stranded in the water swamping the entire neighborhood.

The officer help lift the first dog to safety — then jumped into the water to swim with the second dog to direct to the jet ski — and helped transfer the owner and his pets to a police boat.

Fellow officers also directed Scott to a third dog nearby whose head was barely above the water. Scott also saved him. 

Hundreds of people and their pets were rescued in the Houston area over the weekend amid "catastrophic" flooding in the wake of massive storms. The water rose nearly as high as power lines along the east fork of the San Jacinto River, and some houses were swamped to their roofs, the Houston Chronicle reported.
