Video footage captured the heartwarming moment a Kentucky tornado survivor was reunited with her beloved dog Nola after searching for days through the rubble-strewn neighborhood.
The unidentified woman was filmed by a Dutch journalist as she frantically scoured for her pooch in Mayfield, site of some of the worst devastation after the deadliest twister to hit the state in more than 130 years killed at least 74 people across Kentucky.
The journalist, Lucas Waagmeester, followed the woman before pointing at a dog that was running out of a pile of debris in a now-viral video posted Tuesday.
The overcome dog owner sprinted to her pet – shouting ‘Nola! Nola!’ – before their tear-jerking reunion.
‘It’s okay. It’s okay. Come here my baby,’ she said as she hugged the excited animal.
