DG. I Heard A Beep In The Sand… What I Dug Up Left The Whole Town Crying

  Part 2: The Man in the Raincoat For a moment, I thought I was still dreaming. “Arrest?” I croaked. “You think I did that?” Officer Miller’s grip tightened on my wrist. “The video shows you carrying the bag onto the beach at 3:47 AM.” “Yes,” I snapped. “To dig it up!” The younger officer’s expression didn’t change. “Convenient.” Goldie barked again. Louder this time. It wasn’t strong, but it was sharp. Defiant. “Listen to him,” I said, my voice shaking. “Does that sound like a dog afraid of me?” Miller hesitated. Just a flicker. “Sir, the footage shows you arriving with the bag.” “That’s impossible,” I said. “The bag was buried. Anchored. With a twenty-pound dumbbell.” They exchanged a look. “You mentioned a weight in your post,” the woman said. “There was no weight found at the scene.” My stomach dropped. “I left it in the hole,” I whispered. “We searched the location,” Miller replied. “There’s no hole.” The world tilted. I stepped back onto the porch. “You think I staged it? In ...

Rescuers Shave Severely Matted Dog And Reveal Handsome Face Underneath

  When Fredo first arrived at the   Pennsylvania SPCA   (PSPCA) headquarters, rescuers almost couldn’t believe their eyes. The timid pup was “unrecognizable” — skinny, suffering from skin infections and buckling under the weight of his dirty, matted, overgrown coat. “[W]e could barely see the dog beneath the mats,” PSPCA wrote in a Facebook post. “[H]e could hardly move.” PSPCA Rescuers learned that Fredo had been living with an elderly parent, who was unable to give him the care he needed. But now, safe with PSPCA animal experts, the pup was finally on his way to recovery. PSPCA PSPCA veterinary staff quickly got to work dealing with Fredo’s matted coat, cutting it away to reveal the pup’s perky ears and big, black eyes. They treated his infections, provided dental care and removed a small mass from his face. Eventually, rescuers saw Fredo’s true personality shine through. PSPCA AD “Slowly but surely, the real Fredo has begun to emerge: a sensitive soul who just nee...

Tangled Mass Of Matted Fur Turns Out To Be Hiding The Most Adorable Face

  A few weeks ago, officers from the   Orlando Police Department   arrested a suspect on charges of grand theft — but soon found that she was not alone. In her company was a mass of matted fur. It was a little dog whose condition was indicative of neglect. “It was very clear that this little guy needed some help that he wasn’t getting at home,” Dannielle Southon, founder of Central Florida Fosters, told The Dodo. “[It] was obviously heart wrenching.” The dog's discovery by police, however, sparked a new beginning. Dannielle Southon Following the arrest, officers transported the dog, named Sullivan, to a nearby animal shelter. Later, after it was determined that his owner was unfit to reclaim him, Southon stepped in to offer Sullivan a second chance as a foster. “Seeing his picture really pulled at my heart strings,” Southon said. “I knew from when I first met him that he was going to be a sweetie, as he immediately started giving me kisses when I met him.” Dannielle ...

(APA!) , it seemed like he was barely clinging to life. “He was unresponsive, and the shelter staff thought they might have been too late,” Luis Sanchez, director of public relations and communications at APA!, told  Austin Pets Alive!

Rescuers Drop Everything After Finding Chained Dog And An Open Cardboard Box

  Late one evening, volunteer rescuer Arturo Flores received a call for help that nearly catapulted him out of bed. The caller reported finding an adult poodle mix tied to a railing in the middle of a dark alleyway, and there was an open cardboard box next to her with two tiny souls left behind. When Flores arrived at the scene moments later, his heart dropped. The poodle’s two little puppies, who’d been left in the box, were circling her as she lay defeated on the ground. "[She] was tied so tightly to a railing that you couldn’t even slip two fingers under the leash around her neck," Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, wrote on Facebook. “She just laid there, covered in fleas, defeated, waiting and waiting for someone who was never coming back.” Suzette Hall Thankfully, Flores reached the family just in time. He scooped the puppies up, then carefully freed their mom. He drove the little family straight to Camino Pet Hospital, where a loving veterinary team got a clos...
