OBERLIN — A Medina family of five injured in an accident over the weekend is doing OK.

Their westbound vehicle went off Parsons Road and struck a drain pipe in a ditch, according to Trooper Allen Marcum of the Elyria post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.

They were happy this afternoon to locate their dog, which jumped out of their car as they were being rescued. A woman who lives on Parsons Road said she found a dog that matched the description of Bella over the weekend, and she turned her in to the county dog warden.

According to a message from the sister of the woman hurt in the crash, they checked with the dog warden this afternoon and confirmed it was Bella that had been turned in and that Bella, a “puggle” — a cross between a pug and a beagle — is going home.

The family released the following statement via e-mail: “Our greatest thanks goes out to all of those who helped find our baby puppy, Bella. Thanks to the newspapers, family, friends and those who were strangers but now a friend. God was looking over us all and we are grateful. Pray for us now in our time of recovery.”
