Tornado blew him away but three weeks later he crawled home on broken legs

Birmingham - A tornado picked up one little dog up and blew him away but his will to live was so strong, he crawled home…on two broken legs. He survived for two weeks before his family found him. 

Back in April, Mason was hiding in a garage in Birmingham when the storm blew him away. 
His owners couldn't find him and had about given up when they came back this week to sift through the debris, and found Mason waiting for them on the porch. 

“He's got two broken legs and they're distal radial ulna fractures, they've not been able to be in alignment so neither one of them have healed so he had to crawl on 2 broken legs to get home," said Dr. Barbara Benhart. 

"For an animal to go through what he's gone through and not to be ugly, to be happy for any companionship is remarkable, we're honored to be part of his recovery" said Phil Doster with Animal Control. 
Mason's owners asked the shelter to take him because they're not able to care for him right now. 
Donations have poured in to the animal clinic for Mason.
