Happy Ending!

You might recall the story of the dog we found in a tornado ravaged part of Pratt City a couple of months ago… in very poor health and seemingly living in an abandoned home that was heavily damaged by the April 27, 2011 tornado.

Here is a picture of the dog when we first saw him…

I am glad to report this morning that the dog (named “Pratt” by BJC Animal Control)… is how happy and has a home! Here is a note from Pratt’s new “mom”…

“I am delighted to let you know that I recently adopted Pratt!

I read Pratt’s story on your weather blog and was immediately touched. I felt a strong connection to him because I was in Fultondale when the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado passed through the city. That was the most terrifying moment of my life, and I would not wish it on anyone. While we don’t know if Pratt lived in the damaged home since the April tornado, it was clear that he’s had a tough time.

After visiting Pratt a couple of times, I believed we could be great companions for each other, so we became a family. Pratt is adjusting well to his new home and routine. He enjoys our walks together and playing with his toys. But most of all he LOVES to have his belly rubbed and chest scratched. He is sweet, silly, and happy and constantly by my side. We have a special bond, and I couldn’t have adopted a better dog.

I want to thank you and the ABC 33/40 crew for getting help for Pratt as well as the staff at BJC Animal Control for nursing him back to health. Thank you for sharing Pratt’s story on your blog and on Facebook – without that I would not have found my buddy.

I am attaching a couple of pictures: one is from Pratt’s first day home, and the other is after his recent visit to the groomer. He’s a handsome boy!

I would love for you to let your readers know that Pratt found a home and is doing great.”
