Instead of getting caught in a tornado and being swept to Oz like Toto, this dog landed back at home safely.
Priscilla, a 3-pound Yorkie, was thought to be lost when a tornado hit Cape Coral, Florida last week, but while her owners were being treated for injuries, the dog was found nearby by neighbors, WBBH reports. The dog was found under a downed tree branch about 400 yards away from its home.
"I was out there screaming, walking through broken glass, just screaming, 'My baby, my baby,'" said owner Jenny Schlachter. "She means the world to me."
Schlachter and her husband had to be treated for injuries sustained during the tornado, but neighbor John Higginson was able to find Priscilla and bring her back home.
"She didn't run over here, she flew over here," Higginson told WBBH. "When he brought her through that front door I couldn't believe it," Schlachter added.
Higginson said Schlachter was beyond happy to be re-united with her pet. "From here to there we can hear her saying, 'My baby,'" he said. "She was so excited she had her baby alive." The tornado touched down in Cape Coral on Saturday night.
