Unwanted dog cheats death four times
An unwanted dog which was put down with drugs, put in a plastic bag and then through a rubbish compressor has been found alive moments before being buried in a landfill site.
The five-year-old shepherd-Labrador cross was found clawing through the plastic bag on the back of a rubbish truck at the Edgeboro Landfill in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
Officials say an animal control officer gave the dog two injections, one to sedate it, the other to stop its heart.
He listened with a stethoscope for a heartbeat, and on not hearing one, placed the body in a plastic bag.
The dog had been taken to animal control officers by a woman who said she could no longer care for it.
"Obviously, it's a miracle," a spokesman for the animal control department said. "It's just amazing it lived through that whole mess."
Fifty-seven people have contacted the East Brunswick dog pound, where the animal is being cared for, to offer it a home, reports the News Tribune.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
