Kris Rotonda, a body-builder, has dedicated himself to giving a voice to the voiceless. After Jordan’s passing, Rotonda founded an animal rescue non-profit in her name, Jordan’s Way.

What happened to Alex Grey and his canine friend Ghost on Dec. 15 was a perfect demonstration of the importance of bringing animals inside during harsh weather.

Alex Grey’s dog, Ghost generally sleeps outside in a 12x12 shed. But at 3 am Dec. 15, that shed at 709 W. Mesa disappeared. Grey said he went outside and the shed was gone. It was actually nearby. Grey said the wind picked up the shed and threw it over the fence into an alley even though it was bolted to a concrete slab.

Fortunately, Ghost slept inside the house that night.
