Almost three weeks after deadly tornadoes ripped through Alabama, this dog finally returned home. With two broken legs.

From ABC7:

"They've not been able to be in alignment so neither one of them have healed, so he had to crawl on two broken legs to get home," said veterinary Dr. Barbara Benhart.

"This is probably the most dramatic we've seen as far as an injury in an animal that's survived this long," said Phil Doster, an animal-shelter worker.

2. Oh my. Makes my heart ache for the little fellow, so loyal and brave in spite of his injury.
Animals can do amazing things, especially dogs, cats and horses. It is uncanny sometimes.
