PHILADELPHIA -- A malnourished dog that wandered into a Philadelphia home during a storm has been adopted. Sports podcast host Jack Jokinen said his wife found the dog when she went to grab a pacifier for their baby at 4 a.m. Saturday. Jokinen checked that all the doors and windows were closed. After watching surveillance footage of his home, Jokinen figured out the wind had blown his front door wide open for several hours, he said in a video he posted on Twitter. The surveillance footage showed a dog limp through the door at about 3:15 a.m. Jokinen took the dog, who is now named Suzy, to the vet where he learned she had fleas, ticks and a heart murmur among other ailments.
