In Lexington, Kentucky (United States), an employee of the transport company Lextran discovered a stray dog hiding behind a seat on his bus. At the time, no one could explain how this 3-year-old Shar-Pei/Labrador cross had been able to get on board. The video surveillance images provided a response that moved the association responsible for collecting it. And his story didn't end there…
To get to the bottom of it, we had to go back to the vehicle's camera recordings. And what they showed undoubtedly explained the state in which the dog had been found…
What video surveillance reveals
The images showed a coyote chasing the dog, moments before the discovery. The driver, who had noticed the scene, did not wait: he stopped the bus and got out to chase the wild animal. He ended up turning around.
It was precisely at that moment that the fugitive seized her chance. While her rescuer kept the coyote at bay, she quietly got on the bus and hid behind a seat. The driver didn't notice anything. This escape, reconstructed using images, moved the members of the association to which the survivor was then entrusted.
Several names, then a family
Entrusted to the Lexington Humane Society in the process, the Shar-Pei / Labrador cross received the first name Lexywhich refers to his unexpected journey aboard a company bus Lextran.
On July 14, the association presented her as ready to meet her future family and invited interested people to come and meet her, to Macombin order to offer him a happy ending to his journey.
The following Wednesday, the association announced that Lexy had been adopted and was joining a home for good. For this stowaway, the journey ends with a family!
