IT’S UNDERDOG!

OK after 17 miles stuck in car grille

This good girl deserves a treat.

A miracle pooch named Coco survived a harrowing 45minute, 17-mile trip stuck in the grille of a car that had struck her upstate, veterinary workers said Wednesday.

The shiba inu got tangled up in the front of a Chevy Cruze after bolting from a yard early Monday on North Manning Boulevard in Albany.

The unidentified driver then made her way to Rotterdam — more than 17 miles away — before hearing the dog making noises, employees at Hernas Veterinary Clinic told The Post.

“She had no idea that there was a dog stuck inside the bumper,” veterinary tech Noella LaFreniere said. “But then she checked it out and there she was, just hanging out.”

After spotting the trapped pooch, the woman called cops.

“One of our officers was able to free the dog from the car by pressing down the scoop and allowing the dog to come out,” Rotterdam Police Lt. Jeffrey Collins told WTEN.

LaFreniere said it was amazing that Coco survived.

“She was stuck in the bumper for at least 45 minutes before being noticed. And, to be honest, this is so crazy for us — and we see all kinds of things all the time. She should’ve come in deceased or completely mangled.”

Coco — who is believed to be about 3 years old — did suffer a shattered right front elbow, which requires a $4,000 surgical procedure to be done by a specialist.

“That’s how bad it is,” LaFreniere said. “But she’s like a celebrity here because everyone has no idea how she survived it with just a broken elbow.”

Coco’s owner, Kathleen Davis, had been visiting her sister from North Carolina when the 16-pound pooch got loose, Rotterdam police told The Daily Gazette.

“She does everything with me. We do everything together,” Davis said. She added that the cost of the surgery is more than she and her family can afford.

“I can’t get her back unless I fix her. Unless I have her surgery done,” Davis told WTEN.

Davis will be visiting Coco sometime on Wednesday, LaFreniere said, adding that the dog is quickly returning to her normal self.

“She’s wagging her tail. She’s trying to walk. She doesn’t even really realize that she needs to just sit down,” LaFreniere said. “She’s actually holding it down quite well considering what happened to her.”
