FROG-CHASING, BRA-GOBBLING PUPPY IS RESCUED IN RV PARK

Written by Susan Rogers of Texas

I’m a single parent and my daughter and I live in a one bedroom travel trailer. It was a sunny, and very hot afternoon in Texas, and I was walking across a small road from a neighbors house in our RV park, when along came a very large pup, about 5 months old. Of course, I stopped and bent down to pet her, she was so happy to be noticed. I figured she got out from someone’s care until I noticed that her ribs were showing and she was practically all bones. I continued walking to our trailer and the pup followed. She was not letting me leave her and I might have allegedly whistled for her to follow…

My daughter, Lindsey saw the pup and it was an instant bond. It brought tears to my eyes. My daughter begged for the pup to stay, and managed to talk me into letting her into our small trailer. O.k…she sleeps with YOU! *sigh*. Well, needless to say…I get up early in the morning, and stumble sleepily to the coffee pot – and low and behold…yes, there is a fresh pile of dog poop that I did NOT see… that my bare feet and toes are covered. AGH! I understood that it was not the pups fault, and began taking rugs out.

The pup hung out in the park, and around the trailer for a day – yes, we were still feeding and watering her. The animal control showed up and the pup went right to the woman. She picked her up and put her in the front seat of the truck with the a/c blowing cold. My neighbor called me that the animal control was there for the dog. Ii was at work. My heart broke, and panic hit. I couldn’t let them take her – she has a pit bull face and I was sure that they would put her down. She had already imprinted her sweet gentle ways into my and my daughter’s heart, and I wanted the pup as much as my daughter.

The pup’s name is “Rose”. I found out a day or so later how Rose arrived at the RV park. It was a car that pulled up in the RV park, and just shoved her out. Rose is a rescued dog now, and will be well loved for the rest of her life.

Just one lil’ hitch. There’s a pond at the RV park and Rose loves to chase frogs! And…my daughter and I have also discovered that (pardon me here…) Rose likes to chew on bras. They were scattered all over the trailer one afternoon!

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
