Rescuers approach injured Pit Bull! (Video)

There’s a dog walking along the train tracks at the side of the road, with no human in sight. Your heart is immediately tugged by the wandering pooch. He glances at you, wide-eyed and doubting, and you stop your car. He’s kind of a scary-looking dog. Carefully, you walk up to him and talk to him in a soothing voice. He stands stock-still, watching you, then turns and bolts. As he takes off, you can see that his shoulder is torn wide open. That’s something like what some good Samaritans experienced when they found a lost pit bull wandering along a busy set of tracks. Knowing this was more than they could handle on their own, they immediately called Hope For Paws, a well-known rescue group that helps in the most dire circumstances.

When Hope For Paws arrived to help Hulk, the Pit Bull was lying down dangerously near the train tracks, so close, that the local sheriff had to stop the train so that they could save him. Because the tracks were fenced in on both sides, the dog was mostly trapped. The good Samaritans stuck around to help when Eldad and Loreta of Hope For Paws showed up. Eldad had them hold a soccer net up to block the wounded pit bull’s path as he tried to corner it against them. As he and Loreta approached with gentle leads, trying to snare the frightened dog, he saw right through their plan and squeezed past the man holding the net against the fence. Then Eldad and Loreta had no choice but to run around the other side, where Loreta managed to catch the dog with her lead.

Act of kindness and compassion!

The pit bull quickly calmed down despite his rough shape, and they took him to the vet for immediate attention. Once at the vet’s, they discovered that not only had the dog’s shoulder been sheared through, his jaw had also been broken. While no one is quite sure what happened, being on the train tracks, it’s possible that he had a run-in with a train or car — something much bigger than himself. Now he’s better and looking for a family to love him forever. Watch the amazing video of his rescue and see how happy he got few days after the life-saving surgery. He started thanking his rescuers with a shower of kisses.
