People are holding a dog owner accountable who left their pet alone right before Hurricane Milton made landfall. An officer responds to a distress call regarding a dog that is tied to a fence near I-75 in a widely shared video that was made public by the Florida Highway Patrol on October 8. In the video, the dog is seen standing in water up to its legs while the officer approaches with caution.
The video shows the kind officer telling the terrified dog, “It’s okay.” The dog starts off growling and barking, but the officer handles it calmly and says, “I don’t blame you,” understanding the animal’s apprehension. It’s alright. “FHP Troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 near Bruce B Downs Blvd this morning,” the Florida Highway Patrol Tampa later tweeted. Please, don’t do this to your dogs.
“The dog rescued by @FHPTampa is safe and receiving care,” the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced after verifying the canine’s rescue a few hours later. After being examined by a veterinarian, the dog was given the all-clear. The idea to name the rescued dog “Trooper” in honor of the police officers who saved it has been floated around social media.
There has been a great deal of public outcry over the abandonment, with many people advocating for legal action against the owner and expressing disgust at their behavior. Among the remarks were, “This is absurd.” “Those who harm children and pets are the lowest in society and need to be dealt with accordingly,” and “The owner needs to face legal consequences.”
Regarding whether the dog’s owner has returned it, there have been varying accounts; however, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has verified that these reports are untrue. “The dog was rescued and taken to a vet where he received a clean bill of health,” the spokesperson claimed. Right now, he is secure and receiving attention.
This incident emphasizes the importance of careful pet management, particularly in dangerous situations like hurricanes, as well as the necessity of providing immediate care for animals during catastrophes.
The Woman Took The Dying Dog In Her Arms, He Weighed Like A Feather And Could Not Move!
When they discovered an emaciated dog living next to a busy highway. He was so emaciated that his bones were visible through his skin, and almost all of his hair had fallen out from illness and starvation.
The poor dog was so weak that he couldn’t even move, let alone stand or walk. It was so heartbreaking. There was a small billboard where he was, which protected him from both heat and cold, but even there he could not stay for long without help
Despite this, rescuers will now do everything possible to give him a new chance at life. The woman picked up the dog and carried it to the car. She was so emotional to see the dog in such a state that she began to cry, realizing what he had to go through alone.
Rescuers then rushed him to a nearby veterinary clinic to see if the veterinarians could do anything to help him. They were completely stunned by his appearance.
They wasted no time. Veterinarians conducted a full examination and discovered he had scabies and parasites. He was severely malnourished and dehydrated, but they could fix it. The dog, named Lancris, was put on a strict diet to help him regain his weight.
During the day he had to eat a lot and in small portions. This will continue until he reaches a safe enough weight and then can begin eating several large meals a day. After the vets were assured that the dog would recover, they discharged Lancris from the clinic and he was now in the care of his amazing savior.
