Puppy Survives 30-Mile Ride in Car Engine

Posted: April 24, 2023 at 8:23 am

Carrie Gillaspie is a digital reporter for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. She recently arrived at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City for work and heard a strange sound coming from another vehicle in the parking lot.

It was an animal whimpering.

Carrie located the owner of the car, who happened to be her co-worker Ashley Newman.

Ashley unlocked the car and popped the hood. When Ashley and Carrie looked at the engine of the car, they saw two little eyeballs looking up at them.

A dog had climbed into Ashley’s car and traveled 30 miles to the stadium.

Carrie and Ashley got some help from other co-workers, who safely removed the dog from the tight spot.

They then worked with a nearby shelter to locate the owner of the dog.

It all worked out. The dog went on a wild ride — and luckily survived by holding on for dear life. And now, the dog has been reunited with its owner, hopefully for good, without any more dangerous adventures in the future.
