One of the reasons I'll always have a soft spot for dogs. I hope they can find this dog so it can be adopted. I would, and I already have 3.

SANTIAGO, Chile – Chileans have a new hero: an apparently homeless dog that pulled the body of another dog through traffic off a busy highway. A surveillance camera on a Santiago freeway captured images of a dog trotting past speeding cars to pull the lifeless body of the other canine, which had been run over by a vehicle, away from traffic and onto the median strip.

The scene was broadcast by Chilean television stations and then posted on Web sites such as YouTube.com, and hundreds of thousands of people had viewed versions of it by Monday.

Highway crews removed both the dead and live dogs from the median strip of the Vespucio Norte Highway shortly after the Dec. 4 incident. But the rescuer dog ran away.

Authorities say images of the rescue prompted some people to call and offer to adopt the dog, but neither highway workers nor a television crew could find they animal.

I didn't embed the video for some of those who might think its too graphic. I watched it and I damn near welled up. Hugged all 3 of my dogs after and fed em each some left over meat. lol

Wow, I hope that other dog lived but I doubt it - he got totally rolled over by the car - this is why I'd like Vick to die in jail - if someone doesn't love dogs I immediately have a predisposition that they are a cold person

i totally agree with you Seymour........dogs are special creatures from God. No doubt in my mind. There was also a story yesterday of a little boy that got lost in the wilderness with his 2 small puppys and they cuddled up to him thru the night to keep him warm and saved his life.

FWIW,
The article at http://www.local6.com

says
"Inside Edition, which obtained the video, said both dogs survived."


The original article disagrees:

Highway crews removed both the dead and live dogs from the median strip of the Vespucio Norte Highway shortly after the Dec. 4 incident. But the rescuer dog ran away.
