X-Message-Number: 16331 Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 20:39:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug Skrecky <> Subject: here's a dog with an unbeatible will to live From the May 24, 2001 edition of the Globe and Mail newspaper: Dog hit by mail truck claws way out of grave. Park Hills, Mo. A small black dog that was hit by a mail-delivery truck and presumed dead defied death twice - first by surviving the accident and then by digging itself out of a grave. Sprawled near a mailbox Monday, Sweetie seemed lifeless to owner Glenda Stevens. Futilely seeking a heartbeat, she assumed Sweetie was dead and dug a grave in which to bury her beloved pet. Hours later, she saw Sweetie's hind legs sticking out of the ground. The dog was digging itself out. Sweetie suffered a broken front leg and a broken jaw.
