INDIANA, Pa. (AP) -- Mary Lute just thought she was driving to work.
Little did she know her pet rooster was underneath her car during the 45-minute ride July 27. When she stopped at a convenience store, a fellow customer said there was a chicken loose in the parking lot.
Lute thought it was hers, but wasn't quite sure. Since roosters don't fly and tend to stay close to home, she said she didn't think he belonged to her.
So off she went to the nursing home where she works. Once there, Lute began talking to the husband of a patient who said he picked up the rooster from the store. So Lute went to the van to take a look.
"I said, 'Oh, my God, it is my rooster,'" Lute told the Indiana Gazette.

Hah!
If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard
Since that little red rooster's been gone
DeNiro will play it in the movie version:
Hey that's what I call myself! We have that much in common.
Damn! That is one seriously lucky cat, I'm glad he escaped that one...
Our late, great, Golden Retriever, Prior Lake Jake was less than a year old when we brought a long haired tom cat home to take on the meadow voles that had moved into our garage. Surprisingly, the cat tolerated Jake's "mothering" even when Jake would pick up the cat by his head and carry him around. After a three or four minute "carry," Jake would put the cat down and lick him thoroughly. Why the cat put up with all the slobbering and drool, I'll never know.
What's with that part of Pennsylvania? Isn't there a "Washington," and a "California" thereabouts too?
The place is so deathly dull, it just seemed that way...
That is funny. Not to make fun of the cat, but what a funny story
Well they had to come up with something, and "Punxsutawney" was already taken.
Crow, black chicken and crow for day
Crow, black chicken and fly away
Crow, black chicken and crow for day
I love chicken pie
Chicken crow for midnight, chicken crow for day
Along comes an owl, ooh-haa, knocked that chicken away
Chicken crow for midnight, chicken crow for day
Along comes a Ford, ooh-haa, knocked that chicken away
The hardest work I ever done was plough a field of rye The easiest work I ever done was eating chicken pie
Oh wish I had a big frame house, fifteen stories high
Every story in that house was filled with chicken pie
As God is my witness, I thought roosters could drive.
Precooked ... yum...
Just thought you should be here...
