Tough pup survives 12-mile car engine journey in engine

A tough-as-nails Jack Russell was welcomed home in Manchester after surviving a 30-minute trip stuck in a car engine. Three-month-old Betty Boop somehow managed to climb up into the engine of a neighbour’s Audi A4 in Orsdall in Manchester before getting stuck.

Gavin Juliette then drove a 12 mile (19km) round trip to pick up his mother- in-law before returning home to hear a barking sound coming from his engine.

When he opened the bonnet, he was stunned to find his neighbour Gary James’s little Jack Russell staring back at him.
