Zeus, boxer puppy

Lost Puppy Reunited with Owner after Crash

A lost puppy is found after he went missing, following a semi versus pickup accident Saturday night in rural Black Hawk County.


Chad Bartels was driving his truck, with Zeus the boxer puppy in the cab, when he collided with a semi. The semi driver and her passenger were okay. Bartels had to go to the hospital for a broken jaw. And Zeus could not be found.

Search parties looked for days with no luck.

But Courtny Cline saw the dog as she was riding with her mother. She got out of the vehicle Wednesday and convinced the now-scrawny little dog to come to her.

She called the number she found in a missing dog ad, and was able to reunite the pup with his owner.

Cline had removed the ticks from the dog. Zeus' veterinarian says he's lucky to survived so long on his own.

Bartels says words cannot describe how much he appreciates Cline and her family returning Zeus safely to him.
