This Poor Dog Was Run Over By 13 Trains, What Happened Next? OMG!

Coming out of a horrendous ordeal alive requires the counting of some lucky stars. When it’s your dog that’s managed to survive such a harrowing experience, you wonder if some guardian angel was on his side to keep him safe.


That’s how the dog named Loki is now called “Lucky Loki.” He lived with the Rossi family along with his sibling, Rosie.

When Rosie managed to open the back gate and walk out on her own, Loki decided to follow her and that took them down to the train tracks that were near their home. The Rossis were looking for their two dogs for hours, but it was a phone call that alerted them to what had taken place.

They discovered that Loki was in intensive care after being run over by a train, not just once, but thirteen times.

The conductor thought that the first time the dog had been hit, he was dead, but when he made his return trip, marking the 13th train to pass by, Loki lifted his head to indicate that he was still alive and in need of help.

He was rushed to the WestVet Animal Emergency Center where his microchip revealed who his owners were.

Loki ended up losing an eye, one leg and his tail, and is still suffering from severe head lacerations. But despite that, he made great strides in his recovery and continues to give his family smiles as he hops around on three legs.
