For more than a week, residents of Bartow County in Georgia, called authorities reporting an abandoned and emaciated Pit bull living inside a drainage pipe along the I-75. Animal lovers, police officers and firefighters attempted to rescue the pet numerous times, but their attempts always failed.
On August 12, 2014, after days of coaxing and luring the female dog, named Norton, Friends to the Forlorn Pit Bull rescue group succeeded in rescuing the highway drainage pipe pet.
