A puppy that was thrown out of a moving pickup truck in Los Angeles during a high-speed police chase miraculously survived, according to authorities.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Los Angeles police department announced that on 7 April, at about 12.10pm in a south-east part of the city, officers started a car chase in pursuit of a suspect who was wanted in connection to an attempted murder and carjacking which occurred on 26 March.
The suspect was driving a Chevy Avalanche, the local news outlet KTTV reported. The pursuit had crossed through multiple cities across Los Angeles county, including Inglewood and Westchester, when a puppy was placed in a brown Michael Kors designer bag and then tossed from the suspects moving vehicle, police said.
The puppy, an eight-week-old beige mixed breed with one blue eye as well as one brown eye, miraculously
emerged unharmed and was rescued by responding
officers, the police department said.
The puppy is now reportedly in the care of South Los Angeles Animal Services. The agency is holding the dog pending an investigation into the abandonment of the animal during the chase, and it is not available for adoption, at least not yet, the police added in a statement.
