5/9 - Why Your Car Won't Start

Imagine this: You're running late for work one morning. You jump in the car-- finally-- and when you turn the key, it won't start. You try it again, nothing. You then pop the hood, and see this...



Turns out, this poor little girl got stuck in the engine compartment of Walt Witthoeft's truck.  He isn't her owner, and she didn't have any microchips, tags or ID's, so Walt isn't quite sure how she got in.  All he knows is she shredded the engine compartment, in an apparent attempt to chew her way out of the situation. He also says she chewed her way through the wires, vacuum hoses as well as gas lines. He said he suspects the dog got into the engine sometime Monday night and stayed there until he popped the hood Tuesday morning. Thanks to some quick work from the Vacaville, CA police animal control officers, the dog is now free from Walt's truck.  She's okay.  The truck, though, is going to need a few repairs... to the tune of around $1,000...
