Ill. kitten pulled from dash gets new home, name
GALESBURG, Ill. — Central Illinois mechanic Dana Underwood makes the nooks and crannies of a car sound like a small-animal zoo. He’s fished mice, snakes and rabbits out of automobiles — some alive, some not. Underwood’s Thursday auto safari had a happy ending.
The Galesburg mechanic said he spent 90 minutes tearing apart the dashboard of a van belonging to an animal shelter before finding a kitten. Shelter workers tried on their own to reach the kitten for more than a day before calling on Underwood.
And the good luck didn’t end there for kitten, now named Dash. Someone at the dealership adopted him on the spot.
