This story is about some good friends of ours, great family...after a rollover accident their dog ran away from the car, they made calls, hit Twitter, the story went viral and was picked up by EVERYBODY from CNN to local stations, truckers used Twitter to keep each other in the loop about where they have been and seen or not seen a dog...

...they got their dog back...it's awesome.

Oh man, that is so cool!

How did they roll their car on the Turnpike, though? I thought that was a pretty sweet road to drive? Did they get cut off, or something?

The story I got, straight from the family dad (notice HE wasn't in the video, cool dude though, he wasn't in the crash) is that somebody wandered lanes, she (Cindy from the video) overcorrected to get out of the way at cruising speed and thar she blew...

Had to be scary as heck, the oldest girl is friends with my kid, she told me it was pretty scary, she has bruises from the seat belt and whatnot, Cindy is concust and pretty banged up...the younger daughter who was on the clip is kinda scared of cars right now I guess...

Great family, wonderful pet owners, glad they got the dog back.

Yeah, that'll do it. Man, that had to be nuts... just cruizin' along, and... "Oh look at what this jerk is doing!"... then BLAM!

Driving a loaded vehichle handles sooo differently... the window tends to close on its over-correcting tollerance. They are very lucky, indeed.

Ya, she did mention pets as in more then one. So I would assume they have more then one dog.
