File Under: WTF?




Gone with the wind: Chihuahua blown away
Report: Six-pound puppy found a mile away from where gust sent her flying


WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A six-pound Chihuahua has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked the puppy up and tossed her out of sight.

Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.

The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that her cherished pet "just went wild" upon seeing her.

For the record, let me first say that I'm glad that Tinker Bell is okay after being blown away. But I have to admit that I would have liked to have seen that.

Odd that the girl's name is Dorothy, don't you think?
