There are sometimes situations in which even hardened animal welfare activists start to cry. Many animals are found in a truly wretched state. But what happened here is beyond human comprehension.
In the middle of a field in the American state of Mississippi, local residents found a cage. Inside the cage was a puppy. It was literally covered in bite marks, wounded and almost dead from starvation.
In addition, the outside temperatures were very cold in winter. Anyone who does something like this to an animal has a complete lack of empathy towards living beings. An unbelievable and deeply shocking story from the USA.
Incidentally, fresh tyre marks indicate that the cage and puppies were simply placed in the middle of the muddy field by vehicle.
The employees of the organisation „Tunica Humane Society“ who were present were deeply shocked by the sight and could hardly believe their eyes.
Soaked, half-frozen and almost starving to death
The night before, a storm had swept across the landscape in the area. Needless to say, the poor puppy was completely defenceless against the storm.
No water or food in the cage? Not a chance! The puppy was locked in a metal cage in the middle of „nowhere“ in a field, helplessly left behind.
Immediately after the helpers opened the cage, they realised that the animal had almost starved to death. So the rescue came at the last minute. Freezing rain, wintry temperatures and the storm must have taken their toll on the animal.
It is no wonder that the employees of the animal welfare organisation were very angry and did everything they could to track down the culprit. Far beyond the usual scope of things.
Melanie, the puppy’s newly chosen name, was quickly wrapped in a warm blanket. In addition, all the helpers did their utmost to ensure that the puppy was nursed back to health. This was certainly no easy task, as the puppy’s physical condition was miserable.
Finally rescued and adopted by a kind-hearted family
Thank goodness the Baumgardner family was found promptly. They were so moved by the dog’s fate that they immediately adopted Melanie. Now the whole family is looking after the animal with love and devotion.
We hope that the puppy will soon forget her tragic experiences. Fortunately, young animals in particular quickly forget their ordeal. Thanks to the pure love and care of her new family, Melanie is now doing brilliantly.
At last, Melanie has found a family that accepts her completely as a member of the family and will never abandon her.
