Question

13．Any dog's love and loyalty can feel like a miracle．In a case，Mason，a one-year-old，may be the most amazing one on the earth．
The long-legged pup in North Smithfield，Alabama，was caught in a storm his family's garage last spring．His family thought he would be safe there，but the storm broke the garage door and Mason disappeared．
Dozens of people died that day．Mason's family was grateful just to be alive．But they were heartbroken at the thought that their sweet，playful companion had died．They combed the neighborhood，hoping by chance to find him，but Mason didn't turn up．Three weeks after the disaster，Mason's family were surprised to find Mason on the front door，so ecstatic to see his family．Where had Mason landed during the windstorm？What did he eat for those long weeks？How did he find his way back home？
　　There was no answer to those questions and no time to work it out．Mason was terribly thin and couldn't stand properly．The family quickly sought help and learned their beloved dog had crawled home on broken front legs．"He was simply on his elbows（肘），"says Dr．Doster．
