The story I’m about to share actually happened a few weeks
ago, but I just found out about it yesterday. It all started the morning of November
17, when a tornado ripped through Washington, Illinois. At least seven people
were killed, dozens hurt, and hundreds lost their homes. Jacob Montgomery, a
member of the Illinois National Guard, lost his third-floor apartment. For days
he combed through the rubble, searching in vain for his pit bull, Dexter. Nine
days after the storm, Montgomery’s neighbor found Dexter buried under debris. With
the help of a group called Rescuing Animals in Need, the neighbor was able to
find Montgomery and send him word that the dog was alive. Dexter was
malnourished and dehydrated, but very happy to be reunited with his master. Montgomery
seems to feel the same way. "All I had in my apartment is gone, but my dog
was all I really had to worry about," he said.
