We always cover the deaths and destruction caused by disasters. It’s nice to sometimes see a touching tail tale of hope. And it would be hard to come up with any more amazing than that of Mason, a dog who found his way home, on two broken legs, 19 days after being swept away by the April 27 tornado that hit North Smithfield, Alabama.
