BELLFLOWER, Calif. -- An injured 6-year-old German shepherd mix walked himself into a hospital emergency room after apparently being struck by a car, according to animal control officials.

Buddy the dog limped into emergency at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Bellflower on Wednesday and lay down in the waiting area at about 1 p.m., security officer Daniel Carrillo told the Whittier Daily News.

Hospital officials called the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority in Downey, and agency officials picked up Buddy and brought him to the shelter for treatment of a fractured leg, Capt. Aaron Reyes, SEAACA's director of operations, told the newspaper.

"We don't know where he got hit by a car, but we're happy he chose the right place to get help," Reyes told the Whittier Daily News.
