“When I felt the pressure in my ears, I knew it was real,” said Annette Reed of Tupelo, Mississippi. “I knew we had to get to safety.”

They took shelter in their home, and though their property was badly damaged, they all survived.

“The kids were in the basement bathroom with foam over their heads and when a tree crashed through the bathroom window, I got in there too,” said Scott Reed.

Constance was away at an event when the tornado touched down in her area.  After reports of the touchdown hit news sources everywhere, she left the event immediately to rush home to check on her pets.

She was on pins and needles the entire way home, worried she wouldn’t see her dog alive again.  When she made it back to the wreckage that was her home, she breathed an overwhelming sigh of relief to find him alive.

Luckily, he survived the storm and was seen nosing around the tornado-ravaged homes that made up her neighborhood.

If you were hoping to get the forecast in the Edmonton area last week, you might have had a difficult time – Ripple the rescue dog, who was visiting the studio, was far more interested in playing than in letting meteorologist Mike Sobel do his job!

The year-and-a-half-old mastiff mix was on set as part of an adoption advocacy segment from the Edmonton Humane Society.  Sobel held Ripple’s leash and made a valiant effort to broadcast the weather as the rambunctious dog made every effort to get his attention.

Ripple playfully chomped on his leash and finally got his way – Sobel was forced to give in and let him have the impromptu game of tug-of-war!

King of Pooches in Pines was the featured dog on the “Pet of the Week” segment, but he was ready to make his television of appearance ahead of schedule.  He didn’t wait for NBC’s Ryan Phillips to get through his weather report before excitedly jumping up onto the desk.

He exuberantly wagged his tail, desperate to give Phillips some kisses.  Flabbergasted, the meteorologist mirthfully rebuffed King’s advances, and tried to maintain some semblance of professionalism while on air.  But having dog treats in his jacket pocket didn’t help his case.

King’s devil-may-care demeanor likely worked in his favor – he was adopted not long after his TV appearance.  Pamela McGrath and David Erickson fostered him, but this goofball eventually melted their hearts and they decided to adopt him.  Now he has two other doggie siblings to romp around with.
