Mason, a terrier mix, was feared dead after the storm but was found two weeks later by his owners in the wreckage of their home. "This is probably the most dramatic we've seen as far as an injury in an animal that's survived this long," said Phil Doster at Birmingham Jefferson County Animal Control shelter, who is caring for Mason following surgery. The shelter has dealt with hundreds of pets hurt by the storms.
