Amazing Story

A True Parkersburg story

As most of you already know, two weeks ago Parkersburg, Iowa was pretty badly mauled by a F5 tornado. This story comes out of that event.

This was passed on to me by a friend.

Amazing! If you want to hear an amazing story here is one:

Phone rings at work, a man says - "Do you know so and so?" I say, "Yes, he is one of our insured."

He said, "I am an auto salvager from Des Moines, and I am at the Water Tower in Parkersburg picking up vehicles and there is a yellow lab sitting in the back seat of a pickup truck; it will not come out and so I got in the glove box and found this insurance card."

I said, "Give me your number, I will call these people and call you back."

I call and ask the wife if they had owned a yellow lab, she said YES! (these people have lost EVERYTHING, and are the children of one of the women who died in the tornado).

I said, "An auto salvager is picking up your vehicle and there is a VERY ALIVE yellow lab in the back seat of the vehicle." (Apparently the a door was open on the vehicle and I would assume he has been in and out of there for days drinking water, at least.)

She starts crying, says, "I HOPE THAT'S MY DOG." She calls her husband, (she is in Waterloo today and not at Parkersburg) and he goes out to the tower and sure enough, their missing dog has been found. It had been a week and two days.

That dog found their vehicle in the salvage pile and crawled in it, just sitting there waiting for them to come back !!!!
