“This is Zeus. He miraculously survived a tornado that tossed him across his neighbourhood in his crate. When it tore through his town in Nebraska last week with maximum wind speeds of 165 miles per hour, Zeus was inside in his kennel. The sudden cyclone completely flattened their home, but Zeus' crate was found four blocks away with a broken door, and he was found two blocks away patiently waiting on a mattress for help, they wrote. They added that the “Rescuers believe the crate saved his life.”
Thankfully, Zeus only sustained minor injuries and is now staying at a local boarding facility. He will reunite with his family once they rebuild their home.
“His caretakers say he's in great spirits despite everything he's been through,” the page shared and concluded the post.
