When I first read about this article I couldn't help but to be like what? This is not an article you read about in the news everyday. Not only was she six months pregnant but 28 year old Ms.Levac got locked out of her car by her dog. That's right, a dog. Earlier that day she had gotten stuck outside from a terrible storm and had left her car to "seek help at the only farmhouse close enough to see through the swirling white." She was she lucky enough that a passenger on a snowmobile that was passing by had spotted her out. I couldn't imagine being put in a situation like this. Not only would I be in shock that my dog had locked me out, but being pregnant and out in the cold was so dangerous.

This article has showed me that you always need to be prepared for the most unexpected and extreme conditions. I doubt that the last thing she was thinking was getting locked out by her dog. I'm glad she and her dog made it out safe and my thoughts are with the rest of the people that got trapped out in the snow storm as well. All I can say is thank goodness she was wearing bright red mittens instead of white ones!




Janine Levac, who is six months pregnant, got stuck on a country backroad and when she left her car to get help, her dog jumped up and locked her out of the car. She tried a nearby farmhouse but no one was home and it was locked tight. By sheer chance, a pair of snowmobilers went by and spotted her. She'd been outside an hour and was covered in snow and ice when they found her and took her to the next farmhouse, the home of Wesley and Sherrie Schram, who took Janine in, gave her warm clothes and fed her. She's still at their house due to the weather. - Janine Levac, who is six months pregnant, got stuck on a country backroad and when she left her car to get help, her dog jumped up and locked her out of the car.
