Oklahoma tornado survivor who found dog in rubble gets new home

(CBS News) Following a "CBS This Morning" report from six months ago, Moore, Okla., tornado survivor Barbara Garcia and her dog Bowser moved into a new home last month.

Immediately after tornadoes devastated her home, CBS News cameras captured Garcia's surprise reunion with Bowser. She found him alive in the rubble while being interviewed by CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.

After viewers saw their story on "CBS This Morning," $73,000 in donations poured in to help Garcia build a new home.

"God spared me, and he spared him," she said. "I had a prayer, you know, 'God take care of both of us.' And he did."
