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.
Cheers to Another Year of Life: Hoping for an Overflow of Birthday Wishes Today!
On the day I turned 15 years old, I eagerly anticipated the flood of birthday greetings from friends and family. However, to my dismay, the expected wave of messages never arrived. The feeling of disappointment quickly crept in, leaving me wondering if I was undeserving of love and celebration. Nevertheless, upon introspection, I realized that the absence of external recognition did not define my worth or the significance of my special day. Birthdays are more than just a number of well-wishes; they present an opportunity to appreciate the love and joy that reside within oneself and cherish the relationships and moments that truly matter. Despite the few birthday greetings, I am determined to make this year one filled with self-love, growth, and unforgettable memories.
