A very
unlucky dog was transported around 11 miles along a Massachusetts highway in
the grille of a Toyota sedan without the driver knowing it. Fortunately, the
pooch escaped with relatively minor injuries.
According to
the Taunton
Daily Gazette, the driver of the car saw a white
dog dart out in the middle of the road. He hit the brakes, didn't see the dog
in the rearview mirror, and assumed the animal had made it across the road. It
hadn't. After driving for 11 miles at around 50 mph, he pulled up to a
stoplight, where another driver gestured that something was in the Toyota's
grille. That's when the driver got the surprise of a lifetime.
Stuck in the
grille was a small female poodle mix looking a bit worse for wear, but still
alive. The dog had apparently been scooped up into the grille and was stuck.
The driver immediately took the dog to the police, where animal control helped
to remove her from the car. The dog suffered a concussion and possibly a minor
rupture of her bladder, and after a night at the vet's, she is on the mend,
animal control said. Police are currently seeking the dog's owner to pass along
the good news.
