The family's dog had run away during the tornado, but thanks to ABC13 and an alert neighbor, the pooch was reunited with her family and became a household name.
The Ayala family is all smiles after a devastating and historic tornado tore down their family home of 35 years in Pasadena, but that is because a beloved pooch named Coco, was back in their arms.
"My neighbor heard, 'Where's Coco, where's Coco?' Don't worry about me. Help me find Coco," she said. "What woke me up is my mom and dad, saying, 'Oh my God, it's her on TV!' And that's when we knew that ABC13's been in our neighborhood and that's why we put it on, and luckily we did, and we would never have known about it at all."Day of recovery brings hope to dance studio and reunites lost dog in Pasadena after tornado damage
"She was just freezing," Pedraza remembered, who quickly scooped up the dog and spent three hours warming her up in the family car with the heater turned on.
