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.
My Stepmom Gifted Me a Funerary Urn for My 17th Birthday
Wow, what a story! Lila’s journey with her stepmom Monica went from downright infuriating to surprisingly heartwarming. At first, the urn as a gift seemed like a truly bizarre, hurtful gesture. But then it turned into something unexpectedly meaningful, showing Monica was trying to honor Sarah’s legacy, not replace it. It was as if she just didn’t know how to communicate this plan without causing a bit of chaos first.
And the scholarship fund in Sarah’s name is such a beautiful way for Monica to prove she values Lila’s future and her mom’s memory. Turning the urn into a planter for peace lilies was such a fitting choice, symbolizing a fresh start for their relationship.
What do you think about Lila’s decision to stick around and hear her stepmom out? Would you have done the same, or would the initial shock have been too much?
