Edwynn -> Dog vs. tornado (5/27/2011 11:26:18 PM)




I'd say the score was approximately even given the inherent mismatch , and considering that the dog survived being sucked out of a garage and carried an undetermined distance away before being slammed down or into something.

When reading the story and learning of the two broken legs I thought "wow, must have been hard dragging two broken legs behind it," but then I found out they were the -front- legs! "but how did it ... I mean how could it ... ?" etc.

In this video the dog, obviously a natural show-off, teaches us how:

Notice where the porch is situated and the stairs the dog had to negotiate to get there, where he was waiting for his owners.


Here he gets all fixed up, and probably not bothered by the other dogs giggling at his taped legs, saying  "ha! ya look like a lamb now!"

I can imagine Mason (the dog's name), after finally being slammed to earth by the tornado, trying to get up like the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail and watching the tornado recede, saying "Ah! I see! Runnin' away, are ya? Come back here ya yellow bastard!"

Oh my gosh! Poor puppy! I'm glad he was able to be helped. Unbelievable story and a testament to how strong the will to live is.

Even more amazing, his owners said they didnt want him! Nice of them! Not.

The family's house is destroyed, no clothes, no food. They seem to be planning on their situation stabilizing sufficiently to take the dog back about the same time that the healing is completed.

- 'Left homeless and without enough resources to take care of the resilient pup, the family called the county animal control office to see if they could help him recover.'


'Now Mason is recovering nicely, according to Lamb. The plan is to keep him at Vulcan Park Animal Care until his owners can take him back. "He broke down in tears when he found out they could take him home," said Lamb of the owner. "We have it worked out where he is going to be able to go back home when he's healed."' -

You didn't read it correctly. They did want him, but circumstances dictated that they reluctantly give him up. How can, (as Edwynn quoted) anyone who "broke down in tears when he found out they could take him home" be evidence of an owner who didn't want the dog?
