Dog-Sicle Survives Trip To The Morgue

After Prince got hit by a car on Mother’s Day, his owners brought the pooch into their yard and petted him, trying to bring him back from a coma. He didn’t wake up, so they brought him to the pound.

“My kids were just sick about it,” owner Ruben Mojica said.

But when pound master Earl Monroe opened the freezer Monday, Prince looked up listlessly and started walking around. Prince had spent 18 hours inside.

The sad-eyed poodle mix appeared to be dead, but was really in a coma. His thick, matted hair provided insulation that helped Prince survive, said Dr. Penny H. Hodge.
