So it could have been a lot worse.  





In all seriousness, glad you made it out and got the dog.



Everything else can be replaced.

that sucks man, but you made it out.  this may be cold comfort, but according to stoic philosophy, the only things you actually own are those things that no one can take away from you--the contents of your mind.

you still have that and your dog--everything else can be replaced.

stay strong.
