A 14-month-old puppy is recuperating at home—miraculously—after being hit by an astounding 13 trains last Wednesday in Idaho, KBOI reports.
Loki got out of the family's yard somehow and made his way to some nearby train tracks. He was hit by 13 trains, likely only being saved when the conductor on the 13th train noticed him and called for help.
Loki lost his tail, an eye, and one of his legs.
A Kuna family is facing more than $7,000 in vet bills after their dog was hit by several trains. What's astonishing is the dog lived, despite the number of trains that ran over it.
Loki hobbles well on his three legs, and is quite stable for a dog who was hit a week ago.
"He's slowly getting back to his old self - he gets around and plays with our other dog," said owner Ryan Rossi.
Rossi said the family's Pit Bull/American Bulldog mix wandered off last Wednesday, only to be hit by a train.
Then another.
And another, and another - - in all: "Thirteen trains ran over him," Rossi said.
On that last train, a conductor finally noticed the 14-month-old puppy hurt on the tracks and called for help.
Loki was identified through his microchip. A local vet told the Rossi family that Loki had lost a leg, an eye and his tail.
