The many folks following the saga of Lucy the dog who went missing from Chilliwack Mountain after being hit by a car will be thrilled to hear she91裸聊视频檚 been found, and is recovering nicely.

Owner Doris Selina says their dog Lucy, a nine-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, was hit on Thursday, July 13 by a passing motorist.

She bolted and was gone. It was agonizing for the family.

91裸聊视频淪he91裸聊视频檚 such a goofball, funny as heck, and so friendly. She can91裸聊视频檛 lick enough people.91裸聊视频�

Lucy was hit on the road just as Doris and husband, Albert, had been returning home on Mountain Park Drive from their morning walk. They had just removed her leash and the postal lady, who Lucy was fond of, was coming toward them.

Lucy zipped out to greet her and was struck by the car. The dog flew 20 feet into the air from the terrible impact.

Then she barrelled down the mountainside in full fight-or-flight mode.

The driver that hit Lucy did stop to say that he had been doing the speed limit, and had done nothing wrong.

The Selina family searched high and low for their fur baby. They handed out posters with Lucy91裸聊视频檚 picture and their cell phone number. They asked everyone to check their security videos facing the street.

They even hired Al MacLellan of Petsearchers Canada to do his lost-pet-finding magic with his bloodhounds. Petsearchers looked everywhere on Friday and Saturday, but they couldn91裸聊视频檛 catch a scent trail in the areas they searched.

The Selinas were reviewing some footage the neighbours shared with them when they spotted Lucy barrelling down the hill shortly being hit on Thursday, so they had a clue in which direction to search.

Selina and her son were door-knocking in the Hope River Road area on Sunday.

91裸聊视频淥ne house had a small dog like ours and they were out doing yard work all day. The owner, Suzanne, was very caring and said she would be looking out for Lucy as she did her yard work.91裸聊视频�

Wouldn91裸聊视频檛 you know it later that evening they got the call from Suzanne with some incredible news: she had found Lucy hunkered down on their property.

At one point Suzanne told Lucy91裸聊视频檚 people that she had heard a whimpering coming from the bushes. She and her grandson searched their whole property and found a traumatized little Lucy.

She had wedged herself into a tight space between some bushes and a fence.

91裸聊视频淚 got the call saying they found her, and to come down right now to help rescue her.

91裸聊视频淢y son and I flew out of the house!91裸聊视频�

They had to squeeze themselves into that very tight, long space to try to coax the exhausted, hungry, thirsty dog out.

At first Lucy didn91裸聊视频檛 recognize her people, and wouldn91裸聊视频檛 take the treats, as if she had already started shutting down.

91裸聊视频漌e had to get her water, and I had some dog treats in my pocket.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淢y son slowly was able to get her harness on and then the dog leash.

91裸聊视频滺e gave me the dog leash as the space was too tight. I pulled on the leash, saying, 91裸聊视频楥ome on, Lucy, it91裸聊视频檚 time to go home.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

Shortly after 10 p.m. in the pitch black, Lucy inched her way out of the hidey-hole.

Her blanket was waiting for her on the back seat of the car. She was so happy, she jumped in.

91裸聊视频淲e were thrilled. Our prayers were answered. Suzanne and her grandson were our angels that saved Lucy.

91裸聊视频淲e all hugged and had a cry. We were so thankful.91裸聊视频�

Once they got home late that night, Lucy nibbled a bit of food and had more water.

She jumped up on her favourite chair and went into a deep, deep sleep.

Lucy was home at last.

The vet examined her and found some road rash, and bruises the next day, but declared there were no serious injuries.

91裸聊视频淭hank goodness there were angels out there who helped us find our Lucy,91裸聊视频� said Selina.

91裸聊视频淭hank you also to everyone who supported our family, and helped us search.91裸聊视频�
