November 19, 2008: Lucky Dog
 

http://cellar.org/2008/dog.jpg

A very lucky dog, I hope he finds a good home... close enough to Marco Menozzi that he can go over and bite the bastard. :cool:

Ok, but how did they get him OUT?

And yeah, I'd go and bite the sod who failed to stop after hitting an animal. Chomp chomp.

I'm surprised the Peugeot didn't die, or at least get a broken leg.

What an arsehole. I just can't believe people don't stop when they hit animals, especially domestic ones.

He didn't need to stop! Just brought the dog with him...

They still make Peugeots? I haven't seen one of them in forever.

I heard about this on the radio yesterday morning. I had a completely different picture in my head when they said the dog was "embedded in the grill". :greenface

It looks like the car tried to bite the dog.

1) Resume the 70 mph speed;
2) Stomp on the brake pedal.

Awwww, he's so cute. (well you can't see much of him but he's still cute) I hope he finds a nice home.

Oh blimey yes - very popular car in this country. I don't think they make them big enough for Americans is all. I've owned 2 Peugeot 205s myself.
I had the same reaction when my ex husband stayed up to watch the infamous Tyson/ Holyfield fight with a group of friends. When he came to bed and responded to my sleepy question with the answer, "Tyson bit Holyfield's ear off" I lay awake for ages, with visions of a baying crowd approving, while Tyson ran around the ring, shaking the large piece of grisly tissue in his teeth like a dog. It was such a relief to see what really happened.

Words + imagination = powerful images.

PS - welcome Badcat. Hang on, you're not Diz are you? I left my laptop in London unattended...

I don't know what a "Diz" is, so I would presume I'm not one then... :D

It's her cat.

I thinked that too:

:lol: @ Monster!

And for comparison, this thread.

My first thought was that someone would remind us of the thoroughly macerated deer under the Beemer hood, one of my first IOTD's; thanks ZenGum.
It kind of looks like the pooch might suffer more from extrication than from ingestion.

What a big dick head :finger: that guy is, I only hope the dog does eventually track him down and bite him on his ass and pisses all over his car when he's better.:moon: God I would be so distraught if I even hit a little mouse. Fingers crossed, I've never hit anything.

I hope that poor little doggie goes to a nice home. I would adopt him but I'm in Australia.

How do you remove said dog from grill?
Power tools! And grinning all the way.
Oops, sorry, did I 'accidentally' scratch the hood? What, you don't call that a scratch, more like a big jagged hole? Terribly sorry. Maybe you should have stopped. (evil grin)

I think they should just use a crobar and do as much damage to the car as possible.

I'll bet the dog doesn't have insurance. :)

I haven't seen a dog on a grill since I went to that Chinese cookout.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Maybe the guy was an Atheist and he was driving backwards, and he just didn't believe he'd hit a doG.

I've never met a Marco I liked.

Regarding the thread title...I have a hard time imagining any living thing in the position which that pooch was in as being "lucky".

Of course it would be a stray. If it were associated with an owner, I'd sue the owner for any damage to my car. If I'm supposed to keep my car under my control, you gotta do the same w/your dog.

Marco Bennett bit me on the arm when my Mum was having her hair cut by his mother. It's one of my earliest memories.

With no further data available I have to conclude that all Marcos are morally suspect.
