A dog lost and injured in a rollover crash on a Langley highway has been found and reunited with his owners after 10 days on the loose.
Zeus was riding with his family on Feb. 15 when the car hydroplaned, crashed into a barrier, and rolled on the Trans Canada Highway in Surrey near 177A Street.
Zeus was ejected from the vehicle and fled in a panic.
RCMP officers on the scene tried to round him up, and one searched in the bushes for an hour before he had to resume his normal duties 91裸聊视频� returning later to search on his own time, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.
Gabriela Ordonez posted a frantic request to get her family91裸聊视频檚 dog back on GoFundMe, trying to raise money for pet searchers.
