Disabled hurricane survivor reunited with dog

Lady Bracknell | 00:00 UK time, Friday, 14 October 2005

Crippled Monkey, as his regular readers will know, has a long and honourable tradition of reporting on news stories involving cute animals. And who is Lady Bracknell to buck that trend? I have to confess to having a tear in my eye after reading .

William Morgan, a double amputee, swam to his rooftop for safety when the Hurricane Katrina flood waters hit New Orleans. Then he realised his dog, Morgan LaFey, was drowning. So he jumped back in and swam to her rescue. William was rescued by the Coast Guard more than a day later, but Morgan LaFey had to be left behind.

But, fear not! William and Morgan LaFey have found each other again, thanks to some determined searching by Randi Bildner. Watch the video to see man and apricot poodle's emotional reunion . . . (sniff)
