Poodle Hitches A Ride

A cute poodle mix crossed the road at the wrong time and ended up in the grill of a Toyota. The car's driver saw the dog run out but did not see it anywhere in the road so he assumed it made it's way across safely. Eleven miles later at a stop light someone waved the driver down and alerted him to the dog's plight. Police and animal control extricated the little dog and it was treated for minor injuries. Now, they are searching for the doggie's family so it can go home.

Update: Suzie the poodle has been reunited with her family. They were brought together due to Suzie having a microchip.

I wouldn't call getting hit by a car and being stuck in the grille for 11 miles of terror all that lucky.

Years ago my brother bought an old piece of heavy equipment and hauled it 300 miles back to his shop. The kitten was covered in grease and oil, lived to a ripe old age, and answered to the name of Pennzoil (occasionally).

Critters get themselves in all kinds of places.
