rescue

A group of motorcyclists in Sao Paul, Brazil, didn’t think twice about risking their lives when they encountered a scared Pomeranian running in the middle of a four-lane, high-speed road. The gentlemen used their bikes to block traffic while a few members chased after the dog and saved the pet’s life.

Officer Jerry Popp, from Wilmington, Ohio, did not have a good end to 2014, his dog and work partner, a Belgian Malinois named Karson, went missing on December 22, 2014. The dog escaped the boarding facility he was in while Popp was on vacation and it took the Wilmington Police Department and dozens of volunteers two months to find and capture the K-9.

On February 17, 2015, police officers from Alicante, Spain, were called by neighbors who heard the frantic cries of a dog. When the officers arrived they found a small dog in excruciating pain and an owner who said he had no idea why the dog was crying. The officers pulled the dog from the home and arrested his owner for animal abuse.

A small dog from Mainlands, Fla., was being walked on March 5, 2015, when the pet broke lose from the leash and ended up falling into the water. The frantic dog walker called authorities for help after the scared dog struggled to swim and was being washed away to open sea.
