The other image of Mr. Cook hugging Coco was the one that made the rounds, but this was the picture that stuck with me the most from last week’s tornadoes. When a dog looks frightened, things must be pretty scary. A friend in need Greg Cook passes his dog Coco to Donnie Watts through a window of his tornado-destroyed home in Limestone County, Ala., on March 2. Cook rushed home after the winds had stopped to find his house and dozens of others destroyed, but his chocolate Labrador survived. (photo by Gary Cosby Jr. / AP via msnbc.com)

Therapy kangaroo! Therapy kangaroo can stay with owner, city rules A depressed woman can keep a partially paralyzed kangaroo at her home in a northeast Oklahoma city, officials have agreed, just weeks after she was warned that the therapy pet might be run out of town… …The marsupial never leaves the house without first getting dressed.
