Diane Stoebe was traveling down a Utah highway at 70 miles per hour when her dog accidentally opened a car window and was sucked out.  Miraculously, he was not struck by any of the other vehicles on the road, and walked away with only minor injuries.

Diane was on the phone with her son when she noticed that her five-year-old Eskimo husky, Rowdy, had his paws up on the armrest and was looking out the window.  She wasn’t worried, because she always kept the windows locked.  However, she recently had been driving with her sister and forgot to relock them.

Before she knew it, Rowdy had the window down and had half his body out the window.  The wind caught him and pulled him right out.  Two caravans just missed hitting the little dog.

“When he stopped and he was laying there I thought the other mobile home was going to run over him. That was the worst for me.”

She then watched Rowdy slam into the embankment.

“I heard her scream for a good 15 seconds, as much as she could scream,” son Derren said.  “I was asking her, ‘What’s going on? What’s going on?’ She said, ‘Rowdy fell. Rowdy fell!’ I heard the screech of the brakes, horns honking and the phone went off.

“I called back about five times. ‘Please answer the phone. Please answer the phone. Please be okay.’”

Diane swerved over to the side of the highway and rushed out of her car and scooped up her little baby.  The nearest vet was 100 miles away, so she sped there as quickly as she could.

“I made that drive 100 times. I know the speed limits and how far away it is. I knew that there was no way he was going to make it,” Derren said.

Amazingly, they made it, and Rowdy was only slightly injured.

“He had a broken nose, skinned up snout,” said Diane.  All four feet are banged up and his eye is cut.  “He’s my miracle pup.”

After Rowdy’s brush with death, Diane wants people to know to take caution when traveling.

“Every time you get in the car, make sure you have those window locks on or the child locks, anything like that, because, it might be a child, not an animal,” she said.

“It only takes one time for something like that to happen, with animals or kids, so be sure to be safe,” said Derren.

Here’s a touching story of a dog’s miracle transformation. It was posted to Facebook, via Speranza Animal Rescue. If you’d like to see the original post, click here. For more information on Speranza Animal Rescue, click here.

DORI was surrendered to me last year as a three-week-old puppy who suffered from Swimmer’s Syndrome.

Her limbs were flat out to the side of her body and she could not use them.  She was so weak that she had to be force fed, and her chest was crushed due to her only being able to lay flat her first 3 weeks of life.

When I left the vet that day I left in tears.  Her prognosis was grim.  The vet said she had so much damage to her chest wall, and the fact that she needed forced feeding was never a good sign.

Well after my boyfriend did some research, he made her a harness out of a sock, which braced her limbs forward.  While her legs began to get better, it was touch and go because she wouldn’t eat.  However, Dori proved to be a fighter.

It’s been almost a year since we got her.  The vet says she is truly a miracle.

My boyfriend and I have adopted her, and you would never know today that she had any thing wrong with her.  She runs, plays, does stairs and is a VERY happy girl!

A car crash in Hauser, Idaho that claimed the life of a woman over the weekend, almost managed to claim two lives. No one knew she had been traveling with her small dog at the time, and he ended up being towed to a junkyard still trapped in the wreckage. Two days later during an investigation, he was discovered and saved. He was somehow unharmed.

Unfortunately, authorities have been unable to locate any next of kin or friends of the deceased driver. That left the poor little guy homeless and without a family. He’s currently staying with a rescue called Power of the Paw, and they are asking for help in finding him a new home.

“It’s a miracle, it really is,” said Autumn Jolley, founder of Power of the Paw. “And he’s a little fighter.”

The little guy has a strange name, but it’s one that is very telling of the bond between this dog and his human.

“That’s why his name is Uno Solo – because he was her one and only,” said Jolley.

Power of the Paw has already fielded more than 60 applications to adopt Uno, but there is still a bit of a waiting period involved. His human’s will needs to be checked to see if there is either a next of kin listed, or if he is supposed to go into the care of someone else in the event of her death.

“I just want to get him the perfect home that will love him the way she did, because I know she really did,” said Jolley.

Talk about hitching a ride!  Not only did this poor stray survive being hit by a vehicle, but also survived a 248-mile drive stuck in that bumper.  Across central China stuck in a bumper the entire time may qualify this dog as a survivalist.

According to reports from The People’s Daily Online, the dog got hit after sprinting out onto a Fenghuang County road, and being hit by Loudi Zhang’s car on the 26th of March.

After the dog was hit, somehow it ended up stuck in the front bumper.  Zhang said he continued driving because he assumed the dog was either dead, or had been hit and run off.

Temperatures had plunged well below zero when Madera wandered away from her Ester, Alaska home early in February.  Given her age and blindness, chances of finding her alive were considerably low.  But partly in thanks to another dog, Madera was found and is now safe at home.

On February 6th, Ed Davis’ wife let Madera out to relieve herself.  When it’s bitterly cold, she doesn’t dawdle, but for some reason, on this negative 40-degree night, Madera ambled away.  An autoimmune disease caused her to become blind, so no one would imagine she’d go far.

Davis was working at his job on a pump station for the trans-Alaska oil pipeline when she went missing, and had very little hope of finding her when he returned home on the 19th.

“My best hope was to walk those trails and look for a track that might be hers,” he told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. “My best hope was to find a frozen dog.”

Davis doesn’t believe she’d have ever been found alive had it not been for Constantine Khrulev, who had been out riding trails on his fat bike, which is designed for rugged terrain like snow. He was accompanied by his own dog, who was wearing a bell.

Madera heard the bell, and whined as the dog trotted past her.  Khrulev in turn heard her, and ventured into the woods.  He discovered the 11-year-old Labrador seeking shelter beneath a tree.  She was 100 yards off the trail, half a mile from home.

“She was not going to be found accidentally,” Davis said.

Khrulev carried Madera to one of the Davises’ neighbor’s homes.  Though she had lost about 14 pounds, she was in surprisingly good health.  She will now be recovering under the watchful eye of her family in the warmth of her home.
