Escaped pet and owner reunite in tearful celebration after Friday's tornado

A Washington County resident and her escaped dog reunited after Friday's tornado in a tearful celebration.

The most beautiful thing is when the community come together to search for lost pets that were caught in a tornado. Thank you for your compassion.

I love that even though the dogs don’t usually get along, they still stuck together and found some comfort and safety in someone familiar during such a scary situation.

[BelleWhittington]

Bless them for helping those pets reunite with their families.

So glad they found their adorable dogs, hopefully the cats will also be found safe.

I don't care what anyone says but losing an animal is the same as losing a child. From birth to death, animals need us. My 18 year old boy died in October. It still kills us to see his photograph, and we still have our younger ones. But there's a huge empty space without Murphy. The woman's reaction says it all 🥹🐾

Losing belongings is gut-wrenching, and losing the majority of what you own is devastating, but losing dogs or family is trauma beyond anything people should have to handle. Those dogs are probably the only solace that woman has in such a difficult time, and thank God, or whatever you believe, for that comfort. If I lost everything I owned, I would be crushed, but nothing would be able to console me if I lost my husband or dog.

God bless all who help long after the storms have gone.

Thank you all for finding these pets! I couldn’t imagine losing my dogs, I’d be devastated.

Pets work as emotional supports, which is especially important after these types of disasters.
