This guy has his priorities straight. You can replace stuff, your dog never.

[@cybercat29]

+BarneyFife00 Indeed! You can't replace your cat or dog or bird never ever.

[@jjs1300000]

BarneyFife00 I completely agree.

[@servantoftheonetruegodalmi7212]

BarneyFife00 indeed

[@servantoftheonetruegodalmi7212]

Awesome reunion hope me and my family get a nice reunion with our dog.We need it .

[@sophiefitzsimons376]

ServantoftheoneTrueGod AlmightyGod good luck

[@thomasbaldock6968]

Anyone who can lose almost everything he has and be content with getting his dog back truly deserves all the happiness in the world.

[@cybercat29]

+Thomas Baldock Indeed, or cat etc.!

[@Starmadien2019]

I'd be the same way, my pet being safe in my arms would help getting through trying times.

[@F1rstResponder]

Going through something like this can humble a man to their very core, enough to be thankful that theyre still breathing.

[@cassidykay7014]

"What happened, you fly through the air??" lol aww

[@Collinfan94]

So glad he got his pup back! Nothing else matters, things can be replaced, precious lives cannot.

[@dayanp9772]

Sorry you lost your home, but happy you got your lil love bug back. He sure is glad to see his loving dad! God bless.

[@Exceltiaawesome]

He threw his crutches to the floor I'm in tears 😭

[@breebw]

I understand that in a recent tornado, search found a guy dead in rubble with his dog still in his arms. The dog was alive. These events are horrendous.

[@fallbackbee9170]

Oh wow 😳! The love of an owner for his dog is only matched by the love of a dog for his human. So sad that he lost his life yet I am so happy his puppy made it 😔.

[@kenzi4377]

i would rather lose my house, clothes, and all of my other stuff than losing my dog

[@amyharrington6779]

Kenzi honestly, same. I would do anything for my baby girl, a long haired 8 year old Chihuahua named Princess, I got her when I was 6 years old because my mom was the friend of a lady whose dog had the pups so I got first pick of the puppy I wanted

[@MinatheRaichu]

I am marathoning these types of videos and I am in absolute tears. Someone stop me

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

I'm sorry this man is too precious.

[@crystalheart9]

So happy for him and Junior:)))))))))))))))) together again.

[@bargeld09]

That is so cute he loves his dog so much.

[@LittleLulubee]

Aaw, that man is so sweet and loving with his dog :)

[@goodformeilovedogs860]

it's too bad they were separated by such a force of nature. I'm glad that they are back together again.

[@mmbarlow9812]

Lovely. After such a trauma and losing so much, at least they have each other. Like this guy's 'half full' rather than 'half empty' take, hope it got him (and junior!) through.

[@torib100]

Is it weird that all I could think of is that dog flying through the air 😂😂

[@alessandrayellowweb8063]

I started to cry I'm so happy for them😊😊

[@zestydude87]

Alright, whose cutting onions on here?

[@lillyreed5222]

Its the onion cutting ninjas!!!!!

[@alessandrayellowweb8063]

Hahahaha

[@_SugarBee_]

So happy I haven't seen any 'but it's a pitbull how terrible' comments yet

[@thedarci1368]

What a wonderful love story so glad they were reunited. Hope they are okay now in life:)

[@ssingh7544]

Am.very happy to see him reunite with his pet.......n also i salute him for his balance cool.behaviour after loosing everything ....god plz show mercynon him

[@marylou931]

Jerry, I really cried for you. A man that feels like that for his animal.... you're my kind of man!!! This is 3 yrs ago, I hope and pray you are both well, both doing MUCH BETTER physically. I think that you're already Ok when it comes to your hearts and your souls! Much love

[@StephReyna1993]

"You can't explain it" (proceeds to explain it)

[@streetslayinggto2505]

This guy was one of the few people that would try to save his dog others will just leave them and idk why my dog is my best friend and family and I would give my life for his just like I would anyone in my family.

[@mich7609]

"God please protect my puppy"..." the tornado sat onto of me"..."nope, I broke my leg"... baby talks to his baby. What am amazing human.

[@ryandewayne4581]

I have been falling down this rabbit hole of dogs being ripped away from their families from tornadoes and it has been a wild ride through KZbin.

[@kl3321]

You can tell how much dude loves his dog.

[@playitsafe2]

Take my home but NOT my animals

[@zudivasquez2412]

I cried watching this I'm happy that they found each other

[@anastasiasky8123]

Oh, now im crying at school lol gotta love the happy ending stories!

[@cierraharris9947]

Anyone jus love that man n his dog

[@AColonDashSix]

"I prayed God please protect my puppy" Guy got whay he prayed for, glad the two of them got to live like they deserved

[@SweetUniverse]

He drops his crutches for his beloved dog. Now that's a pet owner. 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@teenychristinee]

So wonderful. The bond between man and loyal dog is unbelievable. My brother's dog starved to death after my brother died, he refused to eat.

[@tornadod23]

Amazing story! So glad you were able to be reunited with your dog and glad you both are ok. 💙

[@SR-cx6eo]

God bless this man! I hope everything worked out well for him and his beloved dog. He has a heart of gold ❤️

[@enigmaren]

So so happy to see a story with a nice ending in the midst of such tragedy. Thanks for posting. The love between that man and his dog is so inspiring!

[@jimmycline4778]

It’s so strange, I forgot they used to do the news!

[@allisonobrien3939]

Omg, how sweet!!!!!!! I hope all the dogs torn away from their families are reunited just like this man and Junior.

[@yadidimeanmaine]

People don't realize how evil PETA is. Penn & Teller did an episode of their show called, "Bullshit," on PETA. lol

[@ademoss80]

ThatOneGuy They kill almost all the animals they save.

[@swiftmitts5583]

Love to see your dog back!

[@dbzownz12345]

That is a blessing that his truck survived cause in the worse case scenario he can live out in his car with Junior. This would give him time so that he can find a home or temporary residence all in case the motel wants to be a jerk and not let his dog stay in the room. Thankfully he found a nice welcoming motel mentioned in the video, but cant say the same for where I live..

[@Mew4U]

Aww so sad but im so glad they are both ok. He is so sweet to his poochy

[@halag]

Great story. I love this guy!! And cute dog!

[@ramvuur]

what a lovely man ! a happy dog !

[@MartyBellvue]

i've never seen a guy so happy. he dropped his crutches and got on the ground in cryinf

[@bigdigga0]

talk about a feel good story, man......i'm so happy for this guy

[@PurdyBear1]

I am so glad they found each other, I saw the initial report and prayed that Junior was still alive.

[@Whiterockpony]

Heart warming. Glad he found jr

[@avaandava725]

I would choose my dog over anything in the world not even all the money in the world😢❤️ This got me all chocked up ❤️❤️❤️

[@EJAro]

Seriously how cld u dislike this?

[@ProAverageGuy]

Not all people like tornados..

[@susanferguson6594]

LifeIsShort SoHaveFun It's not about the tornado, it's about loosing his dog in the tornado, then finding him alive after it. :)

[@ProAverageGuy]

Susan Ferguson Maybe they disliked the fact that it got lost in the first place?

[@susanferguson6594]

Touche'. I personally don't like tornados either! And, I would be bawling my eyes out if I lost one of my dogs, let alone all three of them!

[@ProAverageGuy]

Susan Ferguson You sound like a lovely person. I would cry my heart out to, if I lost my dear dog. He's my best buddy..

[@PleatherGirl]

I am glad that Junior is okay and that he has been reunited with Jerry!

[@manuelaredding1936]

hope they got a lot of help

[@essi8757]

So happy they found each other

[@brooklynboren3514]

I am so happy for you

[@maggiegreen828]

We do not deserve dogs Maybe this man does though

[@JennfuurMarie]

I'm going to cry for days.

[@servantoftheonetruegodalmi7212]

We and my family a happy reunion with our dog too.

[@MarissaRachelle1]

This is precious

[@nateajanimaljam8770]

So cute thank you god thank you I love you

[@nikkiw6099]

Awww bless both ya'll!

[@marionhudson4477]

so sad i hope all will be reunited with there families

[@laurapearson3370]

I can only imagine the fear of the situation, living in England we never get extreme weather like this

[@JoeC7711]

That's awesome! Glad to see there ok

[@melissae1116]

Life is hard enough without tornadoes!

[@leicestergirl63]

I hope that Junior is still alive and well, that his owner is OK too and that they both got a new home. However, I Googled to try to find updates and couldn't find any. What I did find though was that Junior's owner was arrested in January this year on two felony counts and that he had other legal proceedings issued against him, which is worrying. If Junior is still alive I hope he's OK.

[@servantoftheonetruegodalmi7212]

Thank you Wonderful Almighty God for saving them and reuniting them.

[@mariadefatima6469]

Glad u got your dog

[@ilovetiggernotyou]

[@AmorVitae93]

I'm Crying

[@natashanichole7296]

Just like a parent to tell their children to take a bath 😂😂 they so cute

[@Metalheadspartan]

I live in Grand prairie Texas and i SAW THE TORNADO NO JOKE :O

[@abigailhart8921]

OMG!!! Hope u and your family are ok! I have never seen a tornado in my life. I was in tornado warnings where one time there was 6 mini tornadoes in my county and the power was out and it was either August 6th or 7th. My sisters birthday was August 8th so if we lost her, it would have been a really sad year. But thankfully, no one on my road got hurt I don’t think. Our house wasn’t damaged at all. Surprising.

[@abigailhart8921]

I didn’t lose my sister. All of my family members and pets are alive!

[@nanci00]

You are nuts. I helped rescue after Katrina and PETA sent a very brave and helpful bunch of people!

[@sujeirymendoza327]

Happy ending ❤️

[@Epain-sj2dx]

awwwwwwww it's so sweet! :3

[@robertpogson4886]

Nice one :)) Give him heaps of KFC lol

[@cybercat29]

+Robert Pogson Yeah, each day what he usually gets for the rest of his life :-)

[@danielmorse6597]

I would never leave my animals to the whims of PETA or The Humane Society.

[@cripplermaximus]

i'll fight a tornado over my dog, try it

[@jocelynwatson2432]

I am to emotional

[@christinamcrfan2345]

"Dogs weren't meant to fly"🤣🤣

[@kylebullard4780]

That's a pit for ya!!!

[@jordiegirl]

Aww cutie pie :)

[@MsBirdMom]

Aw bless! I think that one living in tornado areas should have some "tornado safety gear"! Have them hanging up in your safest room. The heaviest jackets and boots that you own,safety glasses,helmets-be they riding,football,baseball....gloves. I know it's normally quite hot when the tornados strike but gearing up will help save you from the injuries that are caused by flying debris.Strap and rope your bodies together. Now,that this one has blown by,DIG that new storm shelter..

[@isabellopez1280]

Aww what a tragedy

[@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413]

Dogs weren’t meant to fly

[@AmeliaRosalinaTheHedgehog]

So scary

[@cl-ev2sg]
