This is the sweet boy that I found walking alongside I-20 on Saturday. He is a very loving well-trained great Pyrenees. He has a wonderful disposition (despite looking so sad in this photo). Thank you to the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter for taking care of him (ID #13050707). I hope he is reunited with his family soon.

That was the caption posted with the above photo at the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter Facebook page by Lisa Bailey, whose hometown is Tuscaloosa, Alabama, one of the cities hardest hit by the recent deadly tornadoes in the Southeast.

As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, whenever one of these natural disasters strikes, there are always animal victims, too. Fortunately, in the Facebook Age, the same social media tools that help you find your old high school friends are being used to reunite lost dogs and their owners.

The Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter is posting pics of lost dogs on their Facebook page, in hopes of finding their owners quickly. And they’re encouraging people to post photos of a dog they’re looking for — maybe one that got separated or ran off during the storm.

Check out the photos HERE. Great use of Facebook! And much appreciation to folks at TMAS for working hard on behalf of all these pets and their owners.
