Santa Barbara, California - Jake the Great was a huge New Zealand Huntaway that took up the entire open back area of a Cherokee. As they were driving over the 154 Hwy from Santa Barbara to Solvang, the unavoidable monster truck that crashed into them threw Jake the length of the Jeep and into the windshield and then out on the street with his owner, covered in glass and blood. The following weeks they healed on the outside, but interior damage was later the demise of one of the greatest dogs you'd ever want to meet, way too early a separation for his owner who loved him with all her heart. A true heartbreak in every sense.
