After last week's #hellastorm, some people lost power, dealt with flooding, and other issues but Steve Alioto lost both his home in Sausalito and dog. But like a Christmas miracle, Steve is reunited with his dog once more.
When last week's storm happened, Steve was out helping a friend and left his boat, which is his home, anchored out in the water. He then returned to his boat, found that it had sunk, and assumed the worst — that Daisy, his dog, went down with the ship. However, that Friday after the storm, Steve went to a local church he visits from time to time for meals and found out that Daisy was alive and very happy to see him.
Daisy had apparently made her way out of the sinking boat, swum a mile and a quarter to shore, and found the church that she remembered going to with Steve. The Reverend Paul Mowry of the Sausalito Presbyterian Church realized who she belonged to and reunited her with Steve on Saturday morning at the Marin Humane Society.
While Steve and Daisy are currently homeless and sleeping on another friend's boat, they have each other and are happy to be together again.
