    I can't believe this story. It doesn't seem possible. A poodle was hit by a car in Massachusetts. The driver did not realize they hit a dog. They drove all the way to Rhode Island before someone pointed the dog out.

    The dog has a concussion and a possible bladder injury. Other than that it is doing fine. They are trying to find the owner.

    The only part that gets me is no one along the 11 mile drive noticed the dog in the car's grille until they got to the very end.

    Oh wow. If they didn't see the dog, wouldn't they stop, get out, and look for it case they hit it and killed it? If you walk around the front, you'd be able to see the dog, wouldn't you?

    Regardless, I'm glad to hear it's okay!

    Poor dog! It's a miracle that he survived! But I don't understand it - how is this possible that the driver didn't notice anything? That no one noticed anything? There were people for sure, were they blind?? Poor, poor thing!

    Wow, what a miraculous story. I'm glad the dog wasn't badly hurt. Not such an unusual story though, I have heard stories of humans having bad accidents that could kill someone else, but walk away with very few injuries. I guess the same thing can happen to dogs as well.

    I guess it's a good thing that the dog survive but this is so weird... perhaps the driver thought it was a bird? Well, at least he/she brought the dog immediately to the authorities. It's a much better fate than ending up in a dump somewhere.

    I'm just glad that the dog seems to be okay now.

    I wonder how nobody saw that. Poor dog! Hopefully the dog will be fine!
