The owners of the runaway dog had left her chained in the yard, where she had spent the whole evening howling in the wind. She would suffer if she remained outside. She needed to warm up immediately.
A neighbor noticed the 2-year-old puppy was shivering in the snow and decided she needed to take action. She quickly dialed a nonprofit organization in Detroit, Michigan called Detroit Pit Crew Canine Rescue and begged the rescuers to help the imprisoned dog.
We received a call from a critic who sounded delighted that his neighbors had left this tiny cat outside all night in the freezing weather.
The dog was in immediate danger, so the rescuers arrived swiftly and made an effort to save it. As of late February, it was against the law to keep a dog outside on a leash for longer than three hours, and the owners of this dog had undoubtedly broken that rule.
The fact that the owners also kept a second dog outside is interesting.
Theresa adds this:
Before informing me that the owner had chosen to let the dog go since they no longer wanted it, [the neighbor] unlocked the door and let me see the other dog inside. Yes, we'll take the dog, I said as I began to speak. She is visibly lost, cold, and unable to go outside in this weather.
The rescue squad gave her the renowned Blizzard as compensation for all the suffering she had endured. Blizzard couldn't hold back the comfort and excitement she was experiencing.
Theresa adds this:
We knew it was beautiful when we first picked it up. She was licking the assistance.
Blizzard curled up and dozed off when they set him up in their trailer.
Her paws were bleeding, bloated, and frostbitten, so the crew rushed her to the vet as soon as they could.
Theresa adds this:
He will fully recover. It was a miserable day outside, and she was shivering a lot.
