Vacaville Man Finds Pit Bull Under Truck Hood

 Slideshow: Dog Stuck Under Vacaville Hood

VACAVILLE (CBS 5) ― A Vacaville man popped the hood of his pickup truck Tuesday to find a growling Pit Bull curled up next to the engine.

Walter Witthoeft said he discovered the dog lodged underneath the hood around 7 a.m. Tuesday. He said the female pit bull may have gotten stuck while playing with another dog.

Witthoeft also found that the dog had chewed through the fuel line and electrical wires on his newly-repaired Ford F-150, causing as much as $1,000 in damage.

Humane Animal Services was able to free the dog, which showed no signs of serious injury. She remained in their care following the incident, but was picked up by her owners on Wednesday.
