Emotional support python found after car crash on I-94

DETROIT (FOX 2):After a car collision on I-94, a Canton lady believed she had permanently lost her emotional support animal.

Following the crash, Pina, the python, vanished. However, the staff members who towed her vehicle were committed to locating the elusive python.

Jessica Welch, the owner of Pina, stated, “She knows I’m her mom, or at least I like to think she knows.” “I cuddle with her sometimes.”

Around snakes, most people get nervous. Welch claims that it truly benefits her.

“The weight of it sort of reminded me of almost like a hug or weighted blanket and that’s where her being my emotional support animal comes in because I struggle with anxiety,” she explained.

Last week, Jessica was traveling home from college on I-94 near Chelsea in terrible icy conditions, with Pina riding shotgun. At that point, she collided with a truck in a multi-vehicle collision.

“I looked back in my car, saw her tank was just like shattered, obviously she wasn’t in it,” she continued.

First responders looked, she looked frantically, and there was no Python. In the opposite scenario, a another college student was working at her family’s tow business while on vacation. Carli Kearns, who is not a snake gal but has a large heart, set out to find Pina by asking her father for permission to move the damaged SUV into the heated garage.

“I picked up the spare tire thing and that’s when that’s when I saw its scales under the sear and took off running to find Will.”

Then Will Shaw came to the rescue. He had to cut wires, wrangle the snake, and wriggle the wreckage. When they noticed the snake was motionless, the two became reptilian paramedics. The heater was attempted, but it didn’t work.

The following day, they informed Jessica that she had left. She was completely prepared for cremation when Jessica arrived to pick her up.

“I started poking around in like inside her mouth to see if that would get a reaction out of her and that’s when she drew her head back a little bit,” Welch said.

She is a strong girl who was taken to the veterinarian right away and given antibiotics and a small amount of snake IV.

At home, she is currently recuperating.
