A puppy was thrown out of a car in a Michael Kors handbag during a high-speed Los Angeles police pursuit, and was 'miraculously' unharmed

• A puppy in Los Angeles was thrown out of a car during an hours-long police pursuit.
• The suspects threw the puppy out of the car window in a designer Michael Kors handbag.

A puppy in a designer handbag, who was thrown out of a moving car during a 2-hour police chase in Los Angeles, survived the chaotic ordeal Friday, April 7.

According to local station KNBC, Los Angeles police pursued a car with an attempted murder suspect in it for several hours and ten miles around south Los Angeles. At one point, the passengers in the car threw the puppy — in a Michael Kors handbag — out of the car's window while it was moving. The puppy survived.

After the eight-week-old dog was thrown out of the car, officers retrieved the puppy and turned it over to Los Angeles Animal Services.

"Miraculously the dog emerged unharmed and was rescued by responding LAPD officers. The puppy is now in the care of South LA Animal Services, where it is presently being held pending an investigation into the abandonment concern that was noted during the pursuit," LAPD's PIO tweeted on Saturday.

LA Animal Services told Insider that the animal is in the organization's care, but "is not currently available for adoption."

"The puppy is doing well and is being looked after by our dedicated and caring staff," LA Animal Services said in the statement.
