Meet Biggie
Biggie is an elderly German Shepherd dog that was abandoned near the Los Angeles River. Unfortunately, he was trapped in the river for a few weeks with no hope of escape.
Although residents in that area tried their best to get him out, there was no way to enter, so they resorted to providing him with food.
Searching for Help
The residents, in a desperate move to save the dog, called in a non-profit animal rescue organization, Hope For Paws.
Many employees working at animal rescue facilities are accustomed to receiving frantic phone calls from concerned residents regarding miserable animals. So, this was a routine rescue operation for them.
This is similar to the German Shepherd whose head was stuck in a concrete wall.
Help Comes Along
Hope For Paws dispatched a rescue crew to the river following a report from the neighborhood. However, they were taken aback by the unique obstacle.
It All Works Out in the End
Luckily for both the rescuers and Biggie, the neighbors were able to help, and they gathered enough equipment to rescue him.
As soon as Biggie felt warm hands on his head, he burst into tears. It was easy to tell that he was happy to be saved.
Finally, a Happy Ending for All
Although Biggie was wary of the rescue team at first, he grew accustomed to the kind volunteers at the center after a while. He appeared to appreciate the love and support from those around him.
We can’t overemphasize the importance of rescuing dogs. We’re so glad this German Shepherd was saved and is doing well.
