Terrible!

A five-year-old boy, who survived the devastating tornado that destroyed Moore, Oklahoma last month, has been killed by a Bullmastiff dog.

The dog belonged to a friend of the boy's family. They had been staying at this friend's home in Arkansas after their house was destroyed in the tornado.

The 150 pound dog attacked the boy, who was then taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The latest pet to be saved is a kitty cat named Egor.

Egor was found by a boy scout, who was searching the remains of Geoff and Jo Humann's home.

We previously mentioned that when being interviewed by CBS news, a woman found her little doggy Bowser under the rubble of her destroyed home.

The tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma completely demolished Barbara Garcia's home. Thankfully, she and her dog are okay.

The video of her finding her lost dog live on air has obviously gone viral.

When a Minnesota woman, Erin DeRuggiero, saw Barbara's story, she knew she wanted to help. So she started a fundraiser to help Barbara find a new home.

Barbara didn't have homeowners insurance so it's been tough for her to rebuild her life.

The Build Barbara Garcia A Home Fund has already raised over $44,000 with a goal of $100,000.

That's incredible!!

Miranda Lambert is a real mensch!

The Oklahoma native has done everything she can to help the victims of the tornado that mainly ripped through Moore, Oklahoma. Now her help is extending to the furry victims, too!

The singer has dispatched veterinarians associated with the MuttNation Foundation, which Lambert started in 2009, to the town of Moore where they will set up shop to help injured dogs and cats in the area.

The temporary shelters were set up on Wednesday, and Lambert is very happy to do her part.

Kristin Chenoweth is a wonderful woman who has her own animal charity called Maddie's Corner, named for her dog Maddie.

She's a caring, compassionate person and also an Oklahoma native, so she's doing whatever she can to help those affected by the recent devastating tornado.

She is selling "Lending A Helping Paw" t-shirts through her charity at $25 a pop to try and raise money to help pets in need of medical attention since the tornado hit.

In the aftermath of the Oklahoma tornado, not only are people in need of help… many animals need aid!

Thankfully, the good people at Banfield Pet Hospitals are providing access to their Oklahoma locations for free!

That means that there are free physical examinations for pets affected by the tornado.

This is so ahmayzing!!

There are so many things for people to worry about if they were directly affected by the storm, so at least this one thing can be taken off their minds.

Because when a pet is injured, everything else needs to take a backseat. Just look at how happy this woman was to have found her dog! He's the center of her universe!

So not having to worry about how to pay for veterinary care is going to be a big relief.

The offer is good through June 4th so if you have an animal who was affected by the recent devastating tornado, head over to a Banfield Hospital near you!
