Dog Safe In Head-On Collision

Dog Safe In Head-On Collision

Story by Kelsey W. | As Told By GUNNER

Gunner saved my dog’s life today. Thank you. 

I was driving when a spider started dangling in front of my face from the roof of my car, causing me to accidentally swerve into oncoming traffic. It was a head-on collision at 35 mph, and the front of my car instantly caught fire. I was trapped with the seat belt and the airbags, and once I was finally able to kick my door open and get out, my first thought was to grab my dog.

 

My German Spitz, Tuxon, was riding in his small G1 Kennel in the back of the car. I immediately grabbed him from the kennel. Thankfully, a lady driving past the accident stopped and pulled his kennel out of the car so I could keep him safely contained while I sorted everything out with the other driver. Tuxon was completely scratch-free, and so was his kennel. More than anything, he was just shaken up. I am certain, if he wasn’t in his crate, he wouldn’t be here right now.

I have never been more thankful to have invested in ANY dog product than the Gunner Kennels today. Everything else can be replaced, but I'm just ecstatic to be able to walk away, alive, with my dog.
