Dog Dying On Rubbish Heap Rescued

icyfroth — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:22:52 GMT

US charity has released a video telling the heartbreaking story of a dog who was abandoned and left to die on a rubbish dump.

Workers for the LA-based Hope for Paws found Miley malnourished, infected and close to death on a junk heap on the city's outskirts.

The shelter's Eldad Hagar took Miley to veterinary intensive care, where her condition slowly improved. While she has still not fully recovered, the worst is over, and Miley looks set to lead the life she deserves.

Miley's story has been seen by 1.5 million people. Click through for more inspiring rescued dogs, including Mama Jade the rescued pitbull, a dog that learned to trust through parkour, and another that goes through the most astonishing transformation.

I felt the same way IF, there are some people in life who are examples of why contraception should be universal, free, and perhaps even compulsory.

Agree with you too Monmon.

There are so many stories of cruelty going on like that. In the city recently, an intruder to a home was disturbed by a little three legged dog (who had had an accident a long time ago and lost a leg), and the criminal hacked off another leg. It was a Maltese terrier and had to be put down.

The lady who owned the dog is now too scared to come out of her house (I would be too). I believe that the kind of person who would do that to an animal has a serial killer mentality and is more than just dangerous.

I'm not clinking either. You don't have to go to the US to see cases of cruelty, neglect and unwanted doggies being rescued.Rural Rescues save sick and dying animals from all over the place. There are shelters in Sydney that go around the western NSW pounds every few weeks and rescue the animals.

Yes, it is heartbreaking to see how mistreated some animals are. Thank goodness for tose with a caring heart.

The dog looks great now and will look even better in another few weeks. I love the little friend she got and hope someone will take both of them so they can stay togther.

just reading your responses and recalling how well that poor dog responded to the kindness of it's rescuers made the tears well up in my eyes all over again.

I loved so much the way the fellow who came to her rescuse handled her... he was gentle and patient and yet persistant and had a sense of humour that is so needed sometimes when handling animals.

I hesitated watching the vidoe because I find that ill treated animals stay in nightmare for with me for so long afterwards.

This wasn't like that, it was so lovely seeing how she was taken care of and how accepting she was of that help... Love the end where she 'adopted' a tiny little orphan.

I would always support PAWS...
