Dog Hero Rescues a Friend Hit by Car
Today we saw a video that was hard to look at, because it shows a dog getting hit by a car, and even harder, no one can pull over and stop to help the dog…or can they.
In comes our hero, a dog, who pulls the dog off the road. I hope that some day we’ll get an update on this dog letting us know whether the dog that was hit survived.
The language is not English, because the video was done in Chile, but here is the translation of what the man says on the video:
“These images seen from the surveillance cameras show a very common situation with our overpopulated highways. It is normal for us to see dogs run over. In the video, we can see this dog fighting for his life because he was run over by the vehicle.
“What is very touching is to see the very heroic actions of this other dog who is trying to pull him to the side of the highway. We are going to keep seeing things like this until we find a solution to the dogs living on the streets.”
(12/13/08 Update: This video has since been removed from YouTube for some reason…perhaps just as well as it is kind of hard to watch the dog when it was hit, but the other dog saving it was quite something to see, weaving between cars, etc.)
Couldn’t view it because the video has been removed but just reading the story touched my heart.
Kathie, thanks for letting me know that you couldn’t view the video, as hard as it was to see the dog get hit, it was amazing how the dog rescuing it managed to avoid all the passing cars…who didn’t stop to help, by the way. Thanks for visiting!
