Dog survives 11 mile ride after being hit by car The white female, believed to be a poodle mix, was hit by the driver of a Toyota in Taunton Massachusetts on Sept 20 after running in front of the car. The driver hit the brakes but did not see the dog and continued driving into Rhode Island. William Muggle, East Providence Animal Control supervisor, told the Taunton Daily Gazette that another driver pointed out the dog. The driver then drove to the East Providence Police Department where the dog was removed from the car before being taken a nearby animal hospital. Despite the ordeal, the dog is largely fine, although it suffered a concussion and possibly a ruptured bladder. "We took (the dog) to an emergency clinic, and now she's actually doing fine, crazy enough," Mr Muggle told the newspaper. He added that they are not trying to locate the owner but have thus far been unsuccessful.
