When
I ponder individuals who inflict harm on animals, or worse, abandon them to
suffer, it fills me with sorrow. Thankfully, there are also heroes among us.
I'd like to extend special gratitude to Bret Winingar and his son, Zach, for
their noble deeds.
Bret
and Zach were cruising on a motorcycle through the back roads near Little Rock,
Arkansas when they spotted an aged dog carrier.
Intrigued,
they decided to investigate further. To their dismay, they discovered a
severely malnourished dog confined within.
The
carrier was coated in feces, and the dog had gnawed a hole in its confinement,
seemingly in an attempt to liberate herself.
The
father and son decided to leave the dog for a brief period...
...and
returned in a car equipped with dog food and water.
Bret
and Zach opted to name her Charlie Bravo.
The
dog began expressing her gratitude to her rescuers even before they reached
home.
The
initial task Bret and Zach tackled was trimming Charlie Bravo's claws. They had
grown excessively long during her time in the cage, curving inward and causing
discomfort for the dog as she walked.
Following
that, it was time to give her a bath.
Next,
they took Charlie to the vet.
At
the vet's office, they discovered that Charlie was approximately eight months
old. Assessing the wounds on her body, the vet surmised that she had endured
prolonged confinement in the carrier.
Charlie
Bravo's tale swiftly circulated on Facebook, prompting an outpouring of
support. Before long, Bret and Zach began receiving donations from
compassionate individuals eager to assist in covering Charlie's veterinary
expenses.
Bret
and his family allocated the surplus donations to several animal charities and
established a new fund for rescued animals named "Charlie's Angels."
Initially,
Bret hadn't even considered keeping Charlie, but he couldn't bring himself to
part with her. Since rescuing Charlie, Bret and his family have welcomed three
more rescued dogs into their home.
If
you'd also like to express gratitude to these heroes for saving the life of a
sweet dog, please share!
