Dog returns home after April 27th tornados with two broken legs

[RamboLiberal]

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - Update**:As of Wednesday night, Mason has been x-rayed and put on an IV. His vets at the Vulcan Park Animal Clinic plan to operate on his two broken legs Friday. They will use plates and maybe pins to help realign his bones. Doctors think it will be a long, but ultimately successful recovery.

Amazing stories of survival from the April 27th tornadoes don't just include people. There are some amazing 4-legged tales of endurance being told including the story of one dog who just returned home yesterday. He is clearly battered, but alive.

Mason, a terrier mix, now rests inside the Vulcan Park Animal Care Clinic where he's waiting to find out what kind of surgery he will need to repair 2 badly broken legs. This is only the 2nd night he's spent under any kind of roof in the last 2 weeks and the story of how he got there is almost too amazing to believe.

On April 27th, Mason was hiding in his garage in North Smithfield when the storm picked him up and blew him away. His owners couldn't find him and had about given up when they came back Monday to sift through the debris, and found Mason waiting for them on the porch.

5. As a lover of dogs

God speed Mason.Have you hugged your dog today?I did.

10. Yup. Hugged all three of them, a Chihuahua, mini-pin and French bulldog.

They get hugged every day. Sometimes, the Frenchie gets scolded because she just cannot get the hang of housebreaking.

9. Good news!

I'm so happy to hear that little Mason has survived and will recover. I hope he doesn't have any lasting psychological/emotional/behavior problems from this experience. Poor little pup has been through enough.
