Duke, a Jack Russell terrier, survived for two weeks under the bonnet of a car as owner Tom Whitney of Worcestershire drove 1300 kilometres looking for his missing dog. The dog chewed through the clutch cable, making it inoperable, and the owner opened the bonnet.
I can imagine this happening to Spotty. One day he went missing and Hannah and I searched everywhere for him, shouting "Spotty, Spotty". We called the RSPCA and the Animal Welfare League. His case was logged and we sat down to wait. Hannah drew lost dog posters and we were putting them up. Hannah was getting desperate. I went out to the car to get something and there he was fast asleep. He is always the first out when we come back, but for some reason he didn't get out. Happy Spotty! Happy Happy Hannah! It also reminds me of a sad story from Utah where four or five kids were playing hide and seek and they ended up locking themselves in the car boot. Mum came out to look for them and not finding them, she drove around the neighbourhood. When they were eventually found they were all well dead. We are very careful with our kids playing in the car. It is VERBOTEN.
