ATLANTA --

One of the stories that has really touched people is that of a puppy lost and found in the Atlanta tornado wreckage.

Three-month-old Jackson got stuck inside the damaged Cotton Mill Condos in Cabbagetown after Friday's storm. His owner's are overjoyed to have him back after a firefighter made one last sweep and spotted the puppy underneath a couch.

"I never thought this story would have a happy ending. Even when they said they found him I was thinking a body," said Jackson's owner Mary Pierce Zirkle.

Firefighters planned to demolish a section of the condos if they did not find Jackson during the last sweep.
