A fearless goat-herding dog who refused to abandon his flock amid the deadly wildfires in California miraculously survived the flames that torched the property completely.

Roland Tembo Hendel said his family and he were shocked to see that their dog, Odin, his sister Tessa, and their eight bottle-fed goats survived the deadly Tubbs Fire that destroyed his property in Sonoma County.

He explained in a lengthy Facebook post that's gone viral how they had to leave Odin behind along with the goats after rushing to pack up their other dogs and cats to flee the fast approaching fire.

The Hendel family returned to their property after the fire subsided and braced for the worst as they saw their home completely burned out.

'We were able to make it back to the smoldering wasteland of our forest,' Hendel wrote on Facebook.

'Every structure is in ruins. Trees are still burning.'
He explained that suddenly the goats appeared and raced toward the family, as Odin - whiskers melted, fur burned and limping on his right leg, followed behind.
