Their little dog was left in "freezing" conditions without a thought.

The move has added even more fuel to the fire...

And people have every right to be angry. Since he fled snow-stricken Texas to sun-soaked Cancun earlier this week, people have been left feeling both furious and let down by the Republican Senator.

But now, pictures have been released of his poor family dog abandoned in the dark while they were jet-setting.

It's safe to say, people aren't impressed.

The winter storm that has been wreaking havoc across many southern U.S states is now worse than ever...

And Texas is the worst affected.

Due to the usually warm state being completely unprepared for below-freezing temperatures, thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes...

And the addition of heavy snowstorms has left the state completely powerless in most areas.

Shockingly so, at least twenty-four deaths have been reported so far...

​And as temperatures continue to fall, this number is set to rise.

Texans are doing their best to push through this difficult period...

But with many suffering from a loss of power, electricity, and hot running water, they have been forced to make do with what they've got.

People have been taking to social media to share some dreadful new living situations during the unbearable temperatures...

Including this Twitter user whose fan had literally frozen to the ceiling and had icicles dangling down from it.

President Biden declared a state of emergency in Texas last week...

And ordered federal assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to supplement local response efforts.

Who knows how long this nightmare will last...

But things continue to get worse.

So, it is hardly surprising that people were utterly outraged to hear of the actions of Texan Senator Ted Cruz.

Instead of staying in the state and working hard to help his people, it was reported earlier this week that the Republican Senator decided to pack up his bags and flee to sun-soaked Cancun in Mexico.

Of course, this didn't sit well with Texas' residents...

Who are currently living and struggling in below-freezing conditions.

Cruz was spotted in a Houston airport with his wife and daughters queuing for a United Airlines flight earlier this week.

It is strongly believed by the person who took the pictures that the Senator boarded a flight that departed at 4.44 pm and landed in Cancun at 7.52 pm.

TMZ also reported that Cruz's wife sent a text message to friends just before the family left for Mexico...

Saying their house was "freezing" and revealing plans to stay until Sunday and inviting others along.

If the report is true, it's a much different story than the Senator's statement claiming he was only going to drop his girls off in Cancun.

Of course, this sparked even more anger and resulted in the Texas Democratic Party calling on Cruz to resign.

"Ted Cruz jetting off to Mexico while Texans remain dying in the cold isn't surprising but it is deeply disturbing and disappointing," Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said.

"Cruz is emblematic of what the Texas Republican Party and its leaders have become: weak, corrupt, inept, and self-serving politicians who don't give a damn about the people they were elected to represent. They were elected by the people but have no interest or intent of doing their jobs."

Well, Cruz now faces further backlash after it was revealed he left his family pooch to freeze...

While the rest of the family were soaking up the rays, Snowflake was left to fend for himself.

Snowflake could be spotted all alone in the Houston home. And people are not impressed...

There was a security guard in the driveway who said he was taking care of Snowflake...
