After a 100-kilometer trek clinging to the undercarriage of a car,  Poppy endured a broken tail and three weeks in the wild before finally facing off against a gun-toting, cat-killing farmer.

Wow, I’ll have to remember that the next time I complain about having a bad day!

Maybe dogs simply have better publicists than cats…
