Dog hit by car and stuck in grill for 45 minutes miraculously survives

- New York, USA -

The dog in the pictures is Coco, a beautiful Shiba Inu.

On Monday, October 28, while Coco was in Albany visiting from North Carolina with her family, she dug a hole in the backyard of the home where they were staying and escaped from under the fence.

Coco was hit by a car and got stuck in the grill of the vehicle that hit her.

timesunion reports that the driver got out of the car as soon as she realized that she had hit something.

The motorist did not notice Coco in the grill and kept driving for about 45 minutes until she heard some whimpering and then stopped.

Once she realized that there was a dog trapped in the bumper, she called Rotterdam Police.

Police called animal control and Officer Patty Perez was able to get Coco out and took her to Hernas Veterinary Clinic in Schenectady.

An X-ray showed that the furbaby had a broken elbow which will require surgery.

Coco’s human mom, Kathleen Hamilton, was then tracked down by Officer Perez.

Hamilton set up a GoFundMe page to help her with Coco’s surgery’s costs.

Curraghs Wildlife Park is missing a male red panda.

The zoo posted on their Facebook page on October 17, that a branch fell into his enclosure forming a bridge through which the panda named Kush, was able to escape.

People who live in the area are urged to slow down in the vicinity of the Park.

UPI reports that James Gale said in a Facebook post that he and his neighbor Carl Richards set up a wildlife camera and left bamboo in front of it to attract Kush.

Reportedly, the panda was eventually caught on camera and the Park was notified right away.

Hunter attacked by the deer he shot

- Arkansas, USA -

On Tuesday, October 22, 66-year-old THOMAS LEE ALEXANDER was hunting near the Ozark mountains when he shot a defenseless deer with a muzzleloader.

The hunter went over to the poor animal and assuming he had killed him, to his surprise the wounded deer got up and fought back!

Reportedly, Alexander called his wife who then call emergency responders.

The plan was to airlift ALEXANDER, but he stopped breathing so he was transported by ambulance instead to the Baxter Regional Medical Center in Mountain Home where he was pronounced dead.

A post-mortem will be performed on the dead hunter.

Sadly, it’s unknown what happened to the injured deer.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission sent two K-9 units to search for the animal but were unsuccessful.
