Pflugerville Dog Survives 100-Foot Leap Off Overpass

They say cats have nine lives, but don’t tell that to Bundy the dog.

Round Rock animal control officer Lisa Stem found Bundy — who had been missing from his Pflugerville home since Halloween — on a small concrete slab of the 45 Toll Road late Friday night, according to the Round Rock Police Department’s Facebook page.

Officials said Bundy was visible scared, and when anyone tried to approach the dog it became aggressive. After several attempts to contain Bundy, he jumped nearly 100 feet onto Louis Henna Boulevard and ran into a parking lot where he was later contained.

The consequences of Bundy’s leap? A few bruises.

After being taken to Emergency Pet Care of Round Rock, a full body X-ray and Ultrasound revealed no broken bones or internal bleeding.

As the saying goes, every dog has its day.

After reviecing medical attention, Bundy was taken to the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, where he got another lucky break. Bundy had a microchip, which allowed animal control to return Bundy to his owners.
