Dog Survives Toto Impression During Tornado RICHTON PARK, Ill. (CBS) Chase certainly doesn't look like Toto from "The Wizard of Oz." He's a big rottweiler, not a little cairn terrier. But he certainly does a wonderful impression.
On Saturday, when a tornado swept through Richton Park, Chase was hanging out the backyard of Sandra Holmes' house. That is, until the tornado picked him up and took him on the ride of his life.
"People started coming up and saying 'we saw your dog in flight,'" said Holmes, Chase's owner.
Neighbor Tatyiana Smith saw it. "The dog was in the air, he was going around like he was pulled out of the ground," Smith said.
Luckily, Chase didn't get whisked away to the magical land of Oz. Instead, residents found him more than a block away in the woods, dazed and shocked, but alive.
"It's a miracle," Holmes said. "It's a blessing from God."

It's a bad thing that THIS Toto survived.

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn’t know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Chorus:
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she’s gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn’t know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I wanna tell you is now you’ll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
Chorus
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Hey they had a couple of decent songs.
Steve Lukather is a kick-ass guitarist, but it’s a shame he had to be in such a lame band.
Aw, praise God that he is OK!
Woof
Woof,woof! Bow wow! = {I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.}
There have been stories of tornados picking up things and then laying things down without a scratch on it miles away from were it originally was, and other times totally destroying whatever it came in contact with.
This was a pretty big tornado, and the weather was bad well in advance. Unless the owners were not home, or the dog bolted, I have to believe they abandoned him outside.
Dang....LOL!
Goood DogEEEEEE!
Give that mut a hug!
What a ride.
