When a Storm comes

A little over a week ago we had a severe thunderstorm here. I live in Northeast Ohio.
I have a horseshoe driveway and someone turned around in it but went into the ditch when lightning struck and blinded them momentarily with the flash. I went outside to see if they needed help and what did I see? A stray dog heading for the road. Did they drop the dog off and plan to run? Probably.
Of course the people said it was not there dog and someone was coming to help them. I should have called the police about the damage in the ditch but what good would it really do?
Being a dog owner and lover I took the old dog inside and dried her off. I discovered that she infact was not just dropped off but had been on her own for quite some time. You can just tell.
I posted a found ad on many internet sights but knew I would not get a response. I decided not to call the warden and see how things go.
The girl is obviously a senior and in severe neglected shape. I went out and bought her canned dog food because of her dental health and gave her a dog bed. The girl is house trained and very kind. Grateful. She will not leave my side for fear of being left again I guess. She doesn't want to go outside alone. I guess she is now part of the family.
I asked a friend what I should call her. She gave me a fantastic name. Thank you Maya. And that, my friends, is how a Storm came into my life.
