Family buried their dog that was hit by car, but 14 hours later he was still standing at their door

This is a very interesting and strange story. A family lost their dog after he was hit by a car, while they were grieving his death when the dog suddenly returned from the dead.

Glenn Maloney and his children Megan and Kevin had a dog named Mugsy, the poor animal was hit by a car outside Glenn girlfriend’s home at Severna Park, MD, while she was busy taking care of the children. Glenn ran to save the dog, but when he went out was already too late.

“I picked Mugsy up,” he said, ” but he died in my arms.”

He next checked the vital signs and heartbeat of his 4-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, but he didn’t see any signs. He buried him right away because he didn’t want his kids to witness their beloved dogs dead body.

“I was really upset. So I buried him quick and I didn’t even tell the children,” Maloney said. “I didn’t have the nerve to tell the children, until like seven o’clock that night. Mugsy was dead.”

When he finally decided to tell the kids for their dog’s passing away,the poor little ones were sad,and went up to Mugsy’s grave to have a little ceremony and say a prayer for their friend.

The next morning something so unexpected and weird happened,at 5:30 am they heard scratching at the door. Glenn opened the door and what he saw made him stop in his tracks,Mugsy was there wagging his tail.

Glenn and his girlfriend couldn’t put their head around what happened and were in denial,they even got into an argument with Viola the girlfriend was sure he buried a different dog,they just couldn’t explain how was possible for this to be their buried dog.

But inspecting it closer after the shock wearied off,they were sure this was Mugsy who seemed to have gone through a tough journey to come here.

“Mugsy was covered with dirt and his eyes were bloodshot,” Viola said. “Jack Russells are bred to burrow after foxes. I guess when he woke up in that hole, he just thought it was another old hole and he dug his way out, not knowing it was supposed to be his grave.”

They immediately took the dog to the Vet,to have a medical checkup. The professionals had their own versions of what happened and why was Mugsy taken for dead.

“The vet said that probably after six hours, he actually dug his way out,” Viola said. “His heart rate and everything was so slow that it was not obvious that he was alive. He had no vital signs.”

Wow what a second chance for this family, we are happy they have their best friend back.
