Izzy somehow survived after family fled wildfire in the middle of the night

Jack Weaver and brother-in-law Patrick Widen skirted police barricades, and traversed a creek and hilly roads to save Weaver's mother the grim task of recovering the family's beloved dog Izzy. Katherine Weaver was convinced Izzy died in a ferocious wildfire that sent them fleeing, Katherine still in her nightgown.

I have friends and family in Santa Rosa and there are all kinds of heart warming stories of family being reunited with their pets, and strangers rescuing all types of animals, from cats to horses. Vets are providing free vet care to animals who suffered burns and the like.

This video has me in tears.

I have personally experienced the horrific situation of not knowing if your pet survived a natural disaster. Thankfully we were blessed too.

I am so happy for the family and the beautiful dog, Izzy.

Hold on to these touching moments, they will become even more important as you face the devastating losses.

My prayers go out to all those affected....And, even those who do not lose their homes are also affected....that is called survivors guilt.

Be kind to each other and may the Lord keep all of you safe going forward.
