A dog that was trapped on I-90 for at least two days is getting a second chance at life - thanks to some international donors.

Spokanimal believes Peaches was hit by a car on I-90 near Freya sometime late last week. They got a call about the Peaches last Friday. She was found limping around lost hiding in shrubs along the freeway.

With help from police, they were able to get Peaches out of the I-90 corridor and transported to Spokanimal.

"We brought her here she had an injury to her leg and we put her on pain medication over the weekend waiting for an owner to call to claim her, but they didn't, I was just amazed," Spokanimal's Gail Mackie said.  "Look at the eyes, it won us over and how could you not help something like that?"

Peaches was badly injured by the time she arrived at Spokanimal. Her hip joint had popped out of its socket. The veterinarians couldn't pop it back in, so Peaches needed to have surgery. 

She successfully underwent surgery Tuesday and will spend the next two months recovering.

A woman crashed her son's car into the Liberty Lake Rockwood Clinic Thursday morning, said police.

The crash happened just after 10 a.m. on the 1300 block of North Stanford Lane.

According to Spokane Valley police, the woman was taking her son to the doctor. When she got close to the building, he started yelling at her to stop.

According to police, the woman became flustered and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake.

There was only minor damage to the building.

The balloons will take to the skies this weekend as Valleyfest kicks off in Spokane Valley.

"This is Spokane Valley's community event. It's gotten bigger and bigger every year. It's going to be a fun one this year," Stephanie Hughes said.

It's anticipated as many as 30,000 people to attend Valleyfest this weekend.

video "The event is really for children. It started out at Terrace Park 23 years ago. It's moved to Maribeau Point Park. It's just an opportunity for kids to get out some energy and to make it affordable for the families," Hughes said.

The five balloons that will be participating in Valleyfest will launch at 6:45 a.m. Saturday and Sunday as long as the weather is favorable for flying. And there's much more to ValleyFest than just the hot air balloons.

"We have the car show, fishing at the falls, the pancake breakfast, we have three entertainment stages," Peggy Doering said.

The weekend kicks off with a parade Friday night, with events running through the rest of the weekend.

Valleyfest is free to everyone and runs through Sunday at 4 p.m.
