> Odie actually did growl a little bit, not at me, but more in fear from the noise of the irrade siren, some hail and lightning with the winds.
> As far as I know, no Coloradans were hurt or any casualties happened.
> As I lie on the floor, Odie actually made room for me to lie on his pillow by lining himself up along the wall.
> His head faced the closet and rear end was amongst the bed box springs.
> Odie and I have been through so many tornado warnings since he was matched with me during his guide dog career.
> Since he's been a medical alert response service dog, he've helped each other many times.
