Bandit the dog

[gbhippychick]

I was getting ready for class this afternoon, when Momma called, she was on the road where my college is, and a dog ran out infront of her car. She missed him, but when she got out she saw there were two dogs. Wet, cold and hungry. They were skin and bones and they were shivering, and abandoned. so she called me, and I ran down there with two leashes, pockets full of dog bisquets, two blankets and a five pound bag of dog food. When I got there, they were huddled together behind a tree by a creek, grooming one another. Mom said she searched the neighborhood, went door to door and nobody claimed them. She says one woman even went as far as to say "Yea, I know they're there but I'm not getting involved." One was mainly white with brown and black patches. He had a black "mask" on his face making him look like a bandit. The other, was red, tall and even if he had been taken care of, looks like he would have been sleek. I got bandit to come to me with the cookies, but the other one wouldn't come anywhere near us. He ran away when I tried to get closer. Took off down the road and deep into the woods. We got a leash on bandit, and put him in the back of Mom's car with a blanket and more food.
She took him to the ASPCA and they said they keep them for 48 hours and then put them up for adoption. So Mom asked that they keep her informed, if no one wants to adopt him she will take him home before he is put down. I should feel good that we rescued him, but my heart is broken for the poor little one still cold and hungry in the woods.
