Sometimes no matter how hard we try we just don't get to these poor babies in time. Lisa Hitchcock from Rescue Pups Inc brought this dog to my attention a couple of days ago so I made connections with the Kelly Roll who posted about him and we went out and posted signs around the neighborhood today in Bolivar New York. A gentleman by the name of Gary called me and said he had been seeing the dog around his house for a few days, I asked him to dump food for it and I would come out in the morning with a trap. He went out to do that and he came upon the dog laying in the leaves lifeless ,he was still alive but barely holding on, Lisa raced over there along with Dennis Peters the dog control officer for that area and she scooped the dog up put him in her car and headed for the emergency hospital but he passed away in the car on the way to the hospital. Between being loaded with ticks and most likely fleas he was probably suffering from anemia as well as Lyme's disease, starvation and dehydration .We are so sorry that we couldn't get to him in time. Lisa has named him Friend. I'm glad that we found him alive and that he had Lisa's warm caring hand on him when he died. Thank you Gary and Dennis for helping us find this dog and a huge thank you to Lisa for her willingness to get this dog to an emergency vet and doing whatever it took to save him . Rest in peace our friend you did not deserve this . We love you. ππππΎ
