AMELIA, Ohio - When emergency workers found Carol Forste's body in Ohio after Friday’s tornado, they also came across one of her dearest possessions, her dog, still at her side.

The storm that killed his owner and best friend spared the dog's life, even as it crushed his spirit.

Kush, Forste's pit bull survived Friday's storm. Doctors at All Creatures Animal Hospital in Amelia, say it will take weeks for Kush to truly heal.

One look into his eyes and you can see he is still shocked and traumatized from Friday's tornado.

"Kush would not leave her deceased body's side...stood right next to her until they discovered her," said Dr. Dan Meakin, Kush's doctor.

Carol's death took an emotional toll on Kush. For days, he would not eat or drink.

Thanks...what a story...definitely needs a kleenex....then I think of the ridicule and dismissal of our military heros so many are guilty of...even a dog knows the real heros!

The savagery of pit bulls is well-documented. ;^)

Wow. She might not have survived without the cat. A month is a long time.

Guess the cat fended for itself.

"Her cat was in better shape than she was," Marc Levesque, incident commander with New Mexico State Police Search and Rescue, told The Associated Press. "Her cat was also hunting. (Page) ran out of food a while back."

I’m sure the cat was able to catch rodents and possibly birds to keep itself alive. It could certainly have left her, but it didn’t.

Two mighty lucky critters! I've done a fair amount of hiking in my day, and hiking with a dog is actually quite common...but hiking with a cat, I've never seen on the trail.
