&feature=player_embeddedOklahoma Tornado Survivor Finds Missing Dog During Live Interview
Barbara Garcia, a resident of Moore, Oklahoma, who survived yesterday's potentially historic tornado, was being interviewed by CBS News about riding out the storm in the bathroom of her former home.
Garcia was holding on to her dog when the winds came, but after the walls fell down the two separated, and she had been unable to locate him since.
Then, in the middle of the interview, little "Toto" suddenly emerged from the rubble, and the two were reunited in the most tearjerking of fashions.
"Well I got God to answer one prayer to let me be okay, but he answered both of them," Garcia said.

It's not 'manly' to tear up in front of mechanics.
That was amazing.

He heard her and he made his way through the rubble to get to her. How profoundly beautiful.

That is one hell of a woman, she is laying there in the rubble of her home and she thinks to herself, "Well, I'm alright". And then she has the wherewithal to speak logically on camera, but when Toto shows up, she gets all soft.
