Pup survives unusual car ride

A poodle mix that was hit by a car and driven 11 miles while wedged in the front bumper became quite a celebrity at the East Providence, R.I., Animal Control Center.

A man was driving 50 miles per hour on Route 44 near the Segregansett Country Club in Taunton on Sept. 20 when he saw the dog run into the street, swerved, and thought he missed the pooch. He kept driving until another driver flagged him down to let him know the pooch was wedged in the front bumper of his car. Luckily, the pup walked away with minor bumps and a broken tooth.
