Ella, Rottweiler Dog Found and Reunited with Her Family 13 Days after Car Crash
You hear stories now and then about a pet's loyalty to their humans. The most recent tells about Ella, a rottweiler traveling with her family.
The Kelley family, Joe, Michelle and three children were traveling along I 40 Westbound in Tennessee when their vehicle crashed into a mountain. All the family members were transported to a nearby hospital, but Ella, surely afraid and without her humans ran.
Enter Kathy Wilkes-Myers. Almost two weeks after the accident she spotted Ella along the roadside drinking from a ditch. The location? The crash area. Wilkes-Myers took the dog to her home, along with some things Ella had been hoarding: a lighter, sandel, toothbrushes and comb among them. Since Ella didn't have her family, she could at least have her family's belongings. Also was a notepad with information leading Wilkes-Myers to the Kelley's insurance agent. What followed was a wonderful reunion! All family members will make a full recovery and with Ella back home, the family is complete again. You can see the reunion at the URL below.
