Dog hit by car, then rides 15 miles on the front grill...and lives!

Cozze, southern Italy:

A miracle pup clung to a speeding car for more than 15 miles after being knocked down.

The dog was hit so hard he was embedded in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207 and managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped.

Vets have treated the stray for a broken leg and bruising and he's now in a police pound looking for new owner.

"He's a very lucky boy. He was saved because he was hit so hard. Any softer and he would have bounced off the car and been crushed under the wheels," said a police spokesman.

So you gotta hit them softer? That would be tough to relearn.
