I just hope that she never has an unfortunate run-in with the University of New Mexico's women's soccer team.

Wow! My dreads are tiny little buggers. They are about an inch or two.

I can't imagine the crazy amount of work that goes into caring for that long of locks. #dreadlocks

Aww what a sweet little puppy! I'm not, as my mom is, that prone to believing in angels, but the woman who picked up the dog and helped find her owners is an angel in human form.

And I'm willing to give the family the benefit of the doubt. Yeah, I have some questions, but look at how happy they were to see their baby again. Sometimes stuff happens.

boy: "heh, our dog wouldn't do that, he's too dumb"
me: "you shut up! you're dumb! *cries*"
Now when I get home I will have to give him a good cuddle and tell him mommy believes in him even if daddy's a big jerkbutt

Can anyone explain why the dog was left at the crash site when the family was taken to the hospital? They make it sound like she was visible -- what's the EMT/police responsibility in that situation?

@labeled: Start a search, put out feeding stations, a humane trap, etc. Anything to get the doggy home safely, asap. That's what responsible and caring owners should do.

@labeled: Sorry - I know you'd never fail your doggy. Just very passionate about this. I understand that I may be wrong, but I doubt that everybody was in the hospital for two weeks. Even if I was in the hospital, as long as I was still able to think and talk, I'd be sure to get somebody out there to find my doggy. That's how I roll!

@KatyLou: You know, my first instinct is to say, yes, I'd do what I could to find my dog.

2nd thought here, guys... I'm guessing they were a little more worried about kids, and hospital bills, and whatnot.

I'm all about compassionate care for my animals (dog, cat, parrot) but I have to say that by the looks of this family & their car... it's entirely possible they didn't have anyone to babysit while they rented/bought a new car so they could go search the woods.

This is real life trauma, not a thirty minute sitcom.

@labeled: I understand that there are many things to think of. Without a doubt, having worked in animal rescue and welfare for many years, I know that there are many people that would volunteer to help them during that tough time. All you have to do is ask. Something that I've not only participated in, but have witnessed, time and time again. Many of of consider a pet part of our families and would help other families w/4 legged members, in their time of need.

@labeled: I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I think Ella ran off during the accident, or maybe no one realized she had been in the car too. Also, if you watch the clip closely the kid is still in a wheelchair, so I think they may have been pretty seriously injured. Plus, the insurance agent said she knew exactly which family was Ella's, so I'm guessing they were at least telling people their dog was missing.

DOGS > CATS.
