Missing Rescue Dog Who Traveled Through Lincoln Tunnel Dies

A rescue dog who traveled from Manhattan to Hoboken through the Lincoln Tunnel after running away from a dog walker has died, a friend of the owner said.

Lolo, a 9-month-old whippet mix, escaped from her dog walker on Thursday in Hell's Kitchen, the owner's uncle, Peter Liao, said. The owner's friend on Sunday said Lolo was hit by a car.

Lolo was a rescue from the streets of Puerto Rico whose owner was on vacation, Liao said. 

Police saw Lolo going through the Lincoln Tunnel and others spotted her at a Hoboken dog park, Liao said. 

The 20-pound, short-haired dog somehow survived the sub-freezing overnight temperatures. 

Friends had been searching in Hoboken and Weehawken for the white dog, Liao said.
