"Scared, but this little pup survived," the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office said in a Twitter photo of a small, black dog sitting atop rubble in the aftermath of the devastating tornado that wreaked havoc in Moore, Okla., on Monday.
The image of the sad-eyed Schipperke-Border Collie mix went viral on social media when authorities initially concluded that the dog had been guarding her owner's dead body. But according to the the sheriff's office Facebook page, "Susie" actually belongs to tornado survivor Curtis Collins, who was immediately reunited with his loving pet.Scared, but this little pup survived @cityofmoore #tornado.#okwx #okcoso twitter.com/OkCountySherif…
