Only Noodles knows how he survived five days and nights in the wilderness on Fourth of July Pass. Only the beagle/basset hound can explain how he steered clear of cars and trucks on Interstate 90. Only he could say if he had any close encounters with wolves. But he's not talking. Noodles is, however, eating and sleeping a lot, which made his owner one happy man. "It's amazing he stayed there, where we had the wreck," Barry Poorman said as Noodles rested on the floor at his feet. It was Poorman who found the 4-year-old, 65-pound dog about 3 a.m. Wednesday. He hadn't seen Noodles since he fled following a crash Friday morning near Exit 28 on Interstate 90/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
