Fortunately her and Alan were caravanning, and they were only about an hour away. She called me from the side of the road, shaken but ok, with the doggo whining in the seat beside her. Alan circled back to pick her up while I called a tow truck. We got lucky on this one, but it made me realize I really need to get emergency kits in all of the cars and sign up for AAA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
