Rescued From Dumpster, 10-Day-Old Puppy Luxuriates In First Bath [Video]



A newborn puppy is helpless, trusting to his doggy mom to shelter him. But when three tiny 10-day-old puppies were tossed into a bag and thrown into a dumpster, it took a kind human to rescue them. Meet dog foster mom Claire Fowler, who took the baby puppies into her heart and into her home, reported KVUE News.

Foster is a volunteer with DFW Rescue Me, located in the Dallas area. The all-volunteer non-profit organization seeks to give dogs of all ages a new leash on life by fostering homeless animals and seeking good homes.

Thank goodness for people like the woman who rescued these puppies. People like her understand about suffering, fear and ugliness, and they understand that we, as individuals, need to do all we can to stop those kinds of things. She understands that it's up to all of us to put a little good back into this world, and that even small acts mean a lot to living things.

As to the assholes who dumped the puppies in the first place, I try never to wish anything too terrible on someone I don't know because I don't know their circumstance. I usually settle for wishing for a very bad case of hemorrhoids. It is these types of people who cause the suffering, fear and ugliness in this world. They look the other way when they see suffering, etc. and content themselves in whatever way they need to content themselves so that they don't feel obligated in any way to do any thing.

The world needs MORE people who act out of kindness.

Here we have this story coming out of Texas, the so called state that supports LIFE, remember they have shut down family planning clinics.
And the mentality that some human would do this says a lot about humans and this state and its double standard of the word LIFE.
All they had to do was bring these little things of life to a rescue center.
I just wonder what this human is like around the house, we already know that answer.


I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Claire Fowler

But I will say this...

My whole family live in Texas, and with the stark exception of my dad, they are all good, loving, caring people...and Democrats. Unfortunately, they're just outnumbered by a lot.

I hope we can agree that animal cruelty doesn't stop at state lines.

hand out tickets. At least to the known people who leave animals to starve in yards, homes and apartments when they move out.

A tan, black-nosed mutt found wrapped up tightly in a paper bag at the bottom of a trash can, underneath a mountain of trash.

Thank goodness he had the will to live, that tiny thing, to scream the way he did.

He turned out to be the best, smartest, most intuitive and noble and empathetic friend of the canine persuasion it has ever been my honor to know.

When he died at age 14, it was one of the saddest days of my life.


Thank you for this story. K&R

The human race is full of non-empathetic selfish assholes living only for themselves. I hate too many people.
