A woman heard barking outside her home, and she knew it wasn’t coming from her dogs, an Arizona shelter said.
So she looked at her surveillance camera and watched as a Weimaraner mix chased a cat underneath her 1967 Chevy Nova on Jan. 19 in Phoenix, the Arizona Humane Society told McClatchy News in an email.
But she never saw the dog come out.
When she went outside to investigate, she saw the animal’s foot and tail hanging out from underneath the vehicle, a spokesperson said.

Nova, a Weimaraner-mix, is seen trapped in the engine of a 1967 Chevy Nova on Jan. 19 in Phoenix.
The 49-pound animal had “wedged herself deep into the engine area” of the Chevy, and she couldn’t get out, the shelter said in a Jan. 29 news release.
Rescuers slowly pulled her out of the engine, freeing her within 15 minutes. The animal was taken to a hospital where she had some wounds on her ears but was “otherwise healthy overall,” the shelter said.
