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.
Stray cat refuses to eat unless she gets food in a bag
The bond between a mother and her offspring transcends species, showcasing the unwavering strength of maternal love.
In the heart of a bustling city, a stray cat named Dongsuk found solace in the care of a compassionate woman who provided sustenance for numerous feline companions.
However, the woman noticed a peculiar change in Dongsuk’s behavior when she suddenly refused to eat unless the food was presented in a plastic bag. Intrigued by this anomaly, the woman embarked on a daily ritual of preparing a bag of food exclusively for Dongsuk.
Curiosity piqued, the woman decided to shadow Dongsuk one day, unraveling the poignant truth behind the cat’s peculiar behavior.
To her astonishment, she discovered that Dongsuk wasn’t consuming the food for herself but rather for her sole surviving kitten, a miniature replica of her with vibrant orange and white fur.
With tender care, Dongsuk would delicately offer the bag to her offspring, ensuring the little one’s nourishment before partaking herself.
Moved by this profound display of maternal instinct, the woman felt compelled to extend a helping hand to Dongsuk and her precious offspring.
The heartwarming tale of Dongsuk and her kitten serves as a testament to the enduring compassion and selflessness exhibited by individuals dedicated to the welfare of animals in need.
Let us celebrate and share this touching narrative to honor the kindness and empathy that enriches the lives of both humans and animals alike.
