Couple Tries To Rescue Beagle Struck By Truck On GWB A pair of good Samaritans rushed a dog who was struck on the George Washington Bridge to the hospital, but he didn't survive, they said. The unchipped, tri-color beagle, believed to be no older than two, was hit by a truck in the upper level's westbound lanes around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, they said.

The frail, 17-pound pooch, who was named Reese, made through the night with a normal pulse at the Oradell Animal Hospital, but "her temperature is low, and she is incredibly weak," officials with the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge said. "She has been able to lift her head and even give kisses as her wounds are delicately cleaned," the Oakland-based organization said.
