This lucky pup was rescued by Tulsa, Ariz. deputy Amber Solomon after disappearing five months earlier in the devastating March tornado. After a few weeks, no one had claimed the pooch, so Solomon adopted her. River is now a happy member of Solomon's family! (Photo Courtesy KJRH)

Thank you for sharing this upbeat story. It is also a good reminder that pet owners need to make sure their pets are microchipped so they can be reunited.
