On June 11, 2014, the joint efforts of a Toms River, New Jersey, woman, police officers and animal control officers saved the lives of a homeless Jack Russell terrier momma dog and her nine puppies. The family of ten were saved from a certain death on a high-speed road.
People that actually witnessed the event, say the man got back into his truck, threw it in reverse, nearly backing up over the dog as it tried to jump back in.
On March 20, 2014, animal control received a call from a maintenance worker reporting a small dog found inside one of their garbage pails. The tiny pet was rescued.
“Witnesses say the officers followed the dogs into the backyard,” Starr said. “One witness told me, ‘your animals were perfectly fine until we could no longer see them.’”
