PHOENIX, Ariz. — We know why, but don’t exactly know how it happened, but the Arizona Humane Society came to the rescue of a rather large dog that got itself wedged in the engine of a 1967 Chevy Nova in Phoenix.
KPNX reported that the 2-year-old Weimaraner mix was chasing a cat when she climbed into the engine compartment of the old car, but couldn’t get out.
The Arizona Humane Society responded to help free the dog, now named, what else, Nova.
Nova weighs about 49 pounds and it took about 15 minutes to free her from the car, KTVK reported.
She was taken to a vet to be checked out and had only minor injuries to her ears.
Humane Society field operations manager Ruthie Jesus told KTVK that she hadn’t seen a dog that size rescued from a car over the past 10 years.
The rescue happened on Jan. 19.
