A dog has been rescued from a remote trail in Oklahoma after a man was caught on camera dumping the pet to fend for itself in the middle of nowhere.
The puppy, now named Rocket, was found by animal rescuers after nine hours alone on the trail according to a post on Facebook by the Oklahoma Alliance for Animals.
Trail cameras showed a man abandoning the dog and driving away in his car, according to the post. Because the trail cameras were active rescuers were able to respond.
“This is absolutely not ok. Dumping a poor defenceless animal in the middle of nowhere and driving away is cruel,” the charity wrote.
Rescuers said that the pooch had been vetted, fed, and given a safe warm place to rest his head following the abandonment.
“While we understand that people may be struggling to care for their pets due to Covid, there are resources and organisations here to help, including us. Doing this to living, feeling being should never be the answer,” they said.
“Rocket was lucky,” they added. “If cameras weren’t rolling, who knows what fate would have befallen Rocket.”
“We will ensure he never suffers this fate again,” they said.
Rescue puppy born without an ear flap, my parents want to name him Van Gogh.
Van Gogh, a resilient dog born without ears, embodies the indomitable spirit of life. Despite facing the world with a unique challenge, Van Gogh’s zest for life is truly inspiring. His owner, recognizing the strength within, named him after the renowned artist known for overcoming adversities. Van Gogh’s journey is a testament to determination, teaching us that true beauty lies not in perfection but in the courage to embrace and overcome our imperfections. May Van Gogh continue to lead a beautiful and fulfilling life, proving that a heart full of resilience can paint the most vibrant and meaningful masterpiece.
