Katrina survivor, Joey, a dog that lost his leg due to injuries suffered during the devastating hurricane 10 years ago, is the loyal companion of owner Robin Hanson at Atria Park of Lafayette. Hanson contacted the nonprofit Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah, after receiving an alert from them following the hurricane regarding animals in need of homes. Michael Hand of Best Friends brought Joey from New Orleans to Kanab with three other dogs and a cat. Hanson and his wife, Mary, traveled to Kanab to pick up Joey and return to sunny California.
