Screen capture of Ohio father who rescued his daughter's doll after a tornado demolished their house
After I read the story and saw the above photograph of the Ohio father who rescued his daughter's doll following an EF-4 tornado that demolished their home, the doll enthusiast in me immediately wondered what type of doll it was.  Upon first glance, it looked like an American girl doll. 

The tornado occurred on Memorial Day in Harrison Township, Ohio.  The super-hero dad rescued the doll for his daughter, whose first name, ironically, is Storm.   Dad, Timothy Walker, is quoted by a WHIOTV-7 reporter as saying, “They [his two children] were in the house with my wife the night of the storm and that doll became a symbol for me of just trying to do what I could to help them recover.”

Storm's doll reportedly is American Girl Truly Me 44.

Follow the link below to the article and video about this doll rescue and a kind-hearted woman, Jamesetta Taylor, who sewed an entire wardrobe for the doll.  American Girl has also offered to give the doll spa treatment in their doll hospital.

Some tragic stories do have happy endings and s/heroes are present in all demographic groups.
