This dog stood by his dead owner’s body in Okhlahoma tornado until help came (PICTURED)

The dog, Susie, has since been returned to her rightful owner, Curtis, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office reported in a Facebook post Wednesday evening.
“‘Susie’ and Curtis live about a 1/2 mile from where she was found by our deputy and Curtis has no idea why she stood guard of the victim whom he did not know,” the OCSO wrote. “It was an emotional reunion between ‘Susie’ and Curtis, one we were glad to have been a part of.”
The post concluded, “Curtis has asked that anyone who was touched by ‘Susie’s’ story to make a donation to the Central Oklahoma Humane Society to assist with shelter needs related to the storm.”
Previously…
A mud-covered dog was discovered amid the rubble of the Moore, Okla., tornado. Authorities say the pup was standing guard over its deceased owner’s body.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office tweeted a photo of the scared, black dog, which was found alive in a pile of wreckage after a deadly EF-5 tornado hit Moore on May 20. At first it might have seemed like one more miracle, but once authorities found out why the pup had been sitting in that particular spot, the dog’s story became even more heart-wrenching.
On Tuesday, deputies learned the little dog was actually guarding the body of its owner, who had died as a result of the storm, Oklahoma’s KWTV noted.
In a message posted on Facebook, the OCSO described how the dog was found standing over a deceased individual:
May 20, 2013 we posted this picture of a dog on our Twitter account “scared, but this little pup survived”. Today we found out the story behind the picture. The dog was standing guard over a deceased individual, possibly it’s owner, in Moore following the tornado there. The dog was taken to a shelter and the deputy who found the pup, if possible, plans on adopting the dog. Man’s best friend to the end.
