Here's a good news story to balance the bad I read today in
the same local TV website at Channel 6, Indy.
Puppy Survives Trip Lodged Under Car's Hood
Local Shelter Now Has Animal
POSTED: 12:17 p.m. EST January 22, 2003
MOBILE, Ala. -- There was more than horsepower under the hood of one Buick, there was some pup power, too.
Beverly Sellers was driving to work in Mobile, Ala., when she heard a muffled bark or two. She pulled over, but dismissed the sounds as some barking dogs in the distance or maybe something on the radio.
Finally, after driving about 5 miles, Beverly got out of her car and opened the hood. She found a 10-week-old collie wedged between radiator and the engine.
The pup apparently crawled under the hood looking for a warm place to sleep. Police had to jack up the car and remove a wheel to free the dog. The animal was scared but OK. The pup is now in a local shelter.
