RESCUING THE NEIGHBOR’S FREEZING PUPPY
HIS EYES WERE SCREAMING “HELP ME!”
Written by Gail Long of Colorado

We had the greatest neighbors, but then they moved. Then in moved this family who had a couple of dogs.
“Okay,” I thought, “Animal people, this is good.”
Trust me when I tell you, it wasn’t good. It became a mission for my family to ensure their dogs were fed and had access to water. The owner of the home got a brother and sister “Bugg” (Boston Terrier/Pug mix) and threw them out in the backyard. The one time I spoke to her she said, “I have to get at least one of them fixed, so they don’t breed.”
Shortly thereafter came Litter #1. They got rid of those gorgeous pups quickly.
One day I was out back and saw a pup on their back deck. He looked just like the other pups. A few days later, I saw the older boy from the home and asked about the pup. He said that his niece had named the pup Ping and that they had gotten rid of his siblings and his parents. Then they promptly tossed him out into the backyard and forgot about him. I began checking on him at night to ensure he had food and water, which he often didn’t. He was just a tiny little baby.
On Mother’s Day, it was cold and snowing. We live in Colorado. When I went outside, Ping was out there, soaking wet and shivering and his eyes were screaming “help me!” I went into the house and grabbed a blanket, climbed their fence in broad daylight and made him a bed with the blanket. I went home crying and came to a decision. I went to the ATM, knocked on their front door and offered them cash. Amazingly, they tried to negotiate but ultimately they gave him up. The next day the house was empty and they were gone. Talk about just in time.
Ping has been with us for almost 5 months now. He is healthy and is so happy that he squeals. His big brother, Buddy, is a constant companion and playmate and he can’t believe his good luck that if he sits still long enough one of the cats will give him a bath.
My husband (shown above) is bi-polar and little Ping has been more therapeutic than any medication has ever been. I often wonder if he remembers being at the house next door. I’ve seen him avoid the fence, but it may be my imagination. We had to teach him to be a dog. He had never had a toy. He never ate dog food unless it came from us. I am so in love with this amazing little boy that I wish I could share him with the world. He is a true example of who saved who. I’m not sure which one of us is luckier.
