7-year-old pit bull the only survivor of a deadly Broomfield plane crash

BROOMFIELD, Colo. (KRDO) -- A pit bull named Chata is the sole survivor of a deadly plane crash in Broomfield that killed two people Sunday.

According to our Denver news partners, Chata miraculously managed to walk away from the crash with only minor injuries.

Now, she's offering her family some comfort after the tragedy.

"It's my understanding that there were two victims in the plane crash but she belonged to one of them," Dr. Ashley MacDonald told 9News. "I know that Chata's family loves her so much and her dad passed doing something that he loved doing with her. She even had little earmuffs in the plane when they would go up together, which is likely how she got that laceration."
