PIC BY MIKE MEZEUL /CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: Joplin smiles for the camera.) - Mike Mezeul is a storm chasing photographer from New York but his story has a twist in the tail. For the past two years Mike, 32, has been chasing storms with his best friend Joplin, a dog he rescued in 2012. Since then, they have been inseparable and together the daring duo have come face to face with over a dozen tornados. These breath-taking images were taken in Americas Tornado Valley and show Joplin grinning for the camera as she poses for photos while hugely dangerous tornados approach from behind. Mike said photographing storms combined his love for photography and his admiration for the sky. He said he had become hooked after the excitement he felt while photographing his very first storm as a teenager. SEE CATERS COPY. *** Local Caption ***
