A dog named Betty Boop, had a lucky escape after crawling into her neighbour’s car bonnet where she was stuck for a 12-mile journey.
With no idea of the dog’s whereabouts, the driver took the Jack Russel on a half an hour drive in Great Britain with speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.
The driver later heard barking and found Betty Boop in his engine. Thankfully the mischievous dog was unharmed during her little adventure.
