Dog was hit, shot and frozen...but lives!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- In an amazing story of canine survival California-style, a dog named Dosha has shown she has nearly as many lives as the average cat.

Dosha was hit by a car near her owner's Clearwater, California, home on April 15. Next, a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery. Then, presumed dead, she was put in a freezer at an animal control center.

Two hours later, when a veterinarian opened the door to the freezer, she was shocked to find Dosha, a 10-month-old of mixed-breeding, standing upright in a plastic orange bag -- the equivalent of a human body bag.

Appearing on national television Wednesday, Dosha seemed in fine spirits apart from a gunshot wound to her head and other injuries sustained from being hit by the car.

"When she first came in we called her miracle girl because we couldn't believe what she had gone through and was still with us," said veterinarian Deborah Sally on NBC's "Today" show.

"She's doing amazingly well," added Sally, who said the dog had suffered from hypothermia after being put in the fridge.

a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery.

Why did he do that? The dog obviously didn't need to be shot.

It doesnt really say how badly she was injured, its pretty common to shot an animal if its badly injured.

What manner of Necromancy is this? Perhaps it's a real-live zombie dog like in Resident Evil, or Cujo, or pet Cemetary, or frankin weenie...
