Dog’s guardian drives 1,200 miles to be reunited with his dog after six months – Voice For Us

- Tennessee, USA -

The Washington County, TN Animal Shelter wrote in a Facebook post that a dog they named Blue, went missing just over six months ago and his guardian Pat searched all over for him.

Sadly, Pat had to leave Tennessee and moved to Texas for work.

Thinking he would never see Blue again, Pat was surprised when a friend of his saw a video of Blue playing ball at the shelter and immediately sent it to him.

Pat then contacted the shelter and said: “That’s my dog!”

He was already in Texas at the time, so he drove 1,200 miles to go get his dog.

An emotional video posted by the Washington County, TN Animal Shelter, shows a tearful Pat that while he is thanking the staff for taking such a good care of Blue, the furbaby just wags his tail non-stop, licks him all over, and jumps up and down with a tennis ball in his mouth.

The shelter wrote that while they don’t have many stories with a happy ending, this is why they “NEVER GIVE UP!”

Trooper Jonathan Maybin fell in love with the puppy he rescued from a wreck and adopted her

- North Carolina, Henderson County, USA -

On March 27, North Carolina troopers Jonathan Maybin and Tony Osteen responded to a horrible wreck on Interstate 26.

A car had crashed into a camper shell that had blown off a truck.

A small dog kennel with a puppy inside blew out of the vehicle.

When troopers located the furbaby, she was motionless but still breathing.

The injured pooch was wrapped up in towels and was taken to Western Carolina Regional Hospital.

She had a broken front leg, broken tail, a fracture on her rear tibia, and bruised lungs.

Since no one came forward to claim her, trooper Maybin initiated the adoption process.

The sweet pooch, now named Emory, has a new furever home and is expected to make a full recovery.

Thank you, trooper Maybin for adopting this precious soul!

Goat safely rescued after getting stuck under a bridge in Central New York

- New York, USA -

On Wednesday afternoon, April 9, a collaboration between different agencies made possible the rescue of a loose goat.

A lady spotted the goat standing in the grass while driving on Route 49 in Marcy.

She then stopped her vehicle and tried to approach the farm animal but the goat ran away under the bridge.

The lady then flagged down a Maynard Fire Department firefighter, Chris Reid, who chased after the goat.

New York State Police and Maynard Fire Department were called in.

Route 49 West was briefly shut down as the Whitesboro Fire Department brought in a ladder truck.

News Channel 2 reports that when the goat was rescued, a resident Ms. Sherrie Hartwell, offered to take the animal and care for him/her until someone came forward to claim the missing goat.

It just so happened that after catching this story on the news, the goat's guardian contacted State Police.

He told troopers that the goat took off from the back of his truck, two weeks ago, when he was unloading cattle for a market in Utica.

Ms. Hartwell asked the owner if she could buy the goat and he accepted.

He sold the goat to Ms. Hartwell for $150.00.

Many thanks to all those involved in the rescue of this precious life.
