A dog, newly renamed Tippie, has made a miracle escape from the back of a tip truck west of Brisbane.
The RSPCA has released CCTV footage of the dog riding atop a swirling torrent of rubbish and narrowly missing the truck’s descending crusher blades.
RSPCA’s Queensland spokesman Michael Beatty says that the society suspects Tippie was deliberately thrown in with a bin’s contents and are appealing to anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the animal emergency hotline on 1300 264 625.
