Just what we need: a down helicopter
So it can stand up to anything but a typhoon or a tornado. Kind of feels like the helicopter could've flown just fine but decided to crash land just because.
The tornado was pretty far away too, so the urgency to land, however unsafely, seems strange.
Little friend: "Aight imma head out"
Is that Shadow? Looks very similar to https://discuss.online/post/17415320, but has a white belly instead of being all black.
The original little friend had a white belly.

Shadow replaced him when he got married.
Do we know what this one's name is?
EDIT: To answer my own question, it appears not. Swedish text here says in English:
Sofus is a small black animal that accompanies Moomin and helps and to some extent imitates him in some of Tove Jansson's episodes of the series, something that is reflected in his English name Shadow, which means "shadow". In the first episode, it is Sofu's cousin who has this role, but the cousin then does not have time to be in the series anymore and hands over to Sofus at the beginning of the second episode. The name of Sofu's cousin is never mentioned in the series
