MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. (AP) — Two German shepherds from the Spokane area will receive a national award from an insurance company after they survived being trapped in a missile silo for three weeks.
Nationwide Insurance offers the Hambone Award to the most unusual insurance claim they receive each year.
The Spokesman-Review says Ziva the German Shepherd lost more than twenty pounds and was treated for a gash on her leg and given medication for anxiety.
Ziva’s companion Zeus lost thirty pounds and was treated for other issues but both have recovered.
