Hurricane Katrina

Melba and Megan at Gloria's grandson Lyndon's house in Pass Christian. His family evacuated to Montgomery, and when he came back two days after Katrina only the slab of the foundation remained and he assumed that their dog had perished. But when he returned again on September 17 — 19 days after the hurricane — the dog was there, hungry and thirsty but still alive. They brought the dog to Montgomery, where it got a hot bath and a good meal.

That was one of the only positive stories I heard in Pass Christian after the hurricane.
