Fatal Tornado Victim's Dog Found, Alive

(CBS) -- The missing dog of a woman killed in this week's tornado in northern Illinois has been found, alive but scared.

Missy the German shepherd was recovered by family members Saturday afternoon, Tanya Robinson tells CBS 2. The dog had been spotted in video following Thursday's devastating tornado, but was apparently traumatized by the event and was on the run, she says.
