Dog survives nearly month in impounded car

A Kansas City animal shelter is caring for a puppy that authorities said survived in a locked car that was impounded for nearly a month in a city lot, reported KMBC-TV.

The 12-week-old puppy, which has been named Kia, apparently survived by eating trash left in the car. The terrier and schnauzer mix didn't have access to water.

"She has been stuck in this car without really any resources for the last month. They said that there was some trash in the car that she could've been living off of. Some McDonald's trash and possibly even cigars," said Tori Fugate of the Kansas City Pet Project. "She's small. She can hide pretty easy."

Fugate said the puppy was dehydrated and malnourished but is expected to survive.

I hope whoever neglected to check the car a month ago gets to be in charge of cleaning it up. Gidney N Cloyd May 2013 #1
