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 boy Max is sad, today is Max birthday nobody wish him yet
It’s disheartening to see my boy Max feeling down on his birthday with nobody but extending their needs. Birthdays are supposed to be moments of pleasure and celebration, and it’s powerful to witness somebody expensive not receiving the popularity they deserve. Max, together with his distinctive and lovable qualities, deserves all of the happiness on his special occasion. Right here’s to hoping that the day takes a flip for the higher, with heartfelt needs and love coming his method, making Max’s birthday a really memorable and joyous event. 🎉🐾
