What started as a rushed and stressful morning turned into a life-altering experience for one RuffLand® Kennels customer. After waking up late and hurrying to get out the door, the last thing they expected was to be involved in a serious car accident—but by the end of the day, all that mattered was making it home safely with their dogs.
While sitting at a standstill, their vehicle was struck from behind by a large pickup truck traveling at least 40 mph. The impact was severe, yet both the owner and the dogs walked away with only minor scrapes and bruises. "I'm forever grateful I had the dogs in RuffLand® Kennels because they definitely saved my dogs' lives," the customer shared.
Despite the chaos, the dogs remained calm and trusting, even as first responders worked to free them. "The first responders were very impressed with how quiet and calm the dogs were—especially when they had to use the jaws of life to pop out my hatch in order to access Chief's crate."
The ordeal didn’t end with the accident. The owner and their dogs waited on a bridge for four hours before being transported. The dogs, still secured in their RuffLand® Kennels, were safely placed on the bed of a tow truck and taken to meet their ride home.
By the time they arrived, the dogs were back to their happy, playful selves—completely unharmed, thanks to the protection of their kennels. This story serves as a powerful reminder that investing in a high-quality, impact-resistant crate isn’t just about convenience—it can be the difference between life and death in an unexpected moment.
