Now let’s see, you said it’s making a sort of barking sound . . .

When Ford designed the engine for the F-150 pickup truck, I’m pretty sure they wanted to put horsepower under the hood. But when the Northern California owner of this truck lifted the hood to check on a power steering leak, he realized he had more than just horses under the hood.
He had Pit Bull power.
Here’s the story by Alex Nunez at Autoblog.com:
Dogs are common sights in the cabs of pickup trucks. Sometimes you’ll see one riding back in the bed. But underhood?
Not so common, but that’s exactly what Walter Witthoef found in the engine bay of his F-150. There, head poking up behind the motor, was a growling but otherwise healthy pit bull.
Somehow, the dog wound up stuck inside the engine compartment, where it whiled away the time by using the fuel lines, distributor wires, some hoses, and pretty much everything else within reach as chew toys.
After her discovery, Animal Services arrived on scene and freed the pooch, who was reunited with her people the next day. Hopefully they’ll be willing to pick up the $1,000 tab for the additional damage she allegedly caused to Mr. Witthoef’s ride.
Bad dog! No biscuits!
Here’s a video of the story.
By the look in this pup’s eyes, he probably won’t be volunteering for any further “pit” crew duty anytime soon.
