The tenacious canine was given a clean bill of health by her veterinarian on Monday. She will be allowed to move back in with her owner, Louetta Mallard, as soon as a better fence is erected to keep her from escaping from Mallard's yard, according to Debra Sally, the owner of the Clearlake Veterinary Clinic.

Dosha has been at the clinic since April 15, when she escaped from her yard and was hit by a car. A policeman shot her because he said she was in pain. She was taken to an animal shelter and put in a freezer for disposal, but about two hours later, a worker at the center opened the freezer to find Dosha standing up in a plastic bag.

Dosha's head was x-rayed Monday to check her right ear, which Sally feared had been damaged by the bullet.

"Everything looked OK," she said.
