BY ASHLEY MAISANO

Echo Lake Park in Fort Worth, Texas, is an infamous dumping ground for unwanted dogs. Judy Obregon has saved her fair share of pups from there, but has also come across many heart-wrenching scenes.

This week, she spotted a dog lying there who appeared lifeless. She approached him and assumed that he was just another dead dog, a sight that is very common for her. But when she got closer, she saw him take a breath. Fortunately, this poor stray dog was still alive. Obregon rushed him to the local veterinary hospital to save his life.



Obregon, who’s known as “the dog lady,” runs a rescue organization named The Abandoned Ones, that gives surviving discarded dogs another chance at life. Many of these dogs dumped at Echo Lake Park was once used as bait dogs in dogfighting rings, and all have just been left there to die.

What a sweet little dog! How could anyone treat a dog like that? I hope he finds a good, loving home.

When I feel bad about the world, it's so comforting to remember that there are people like her doing so much good. People like you.

Almost all of them understand several 'human' words, and some understand a hundred or more. I have yet to meet a human
who understands even a single word of canine language.

In case anyone wants to donate. I'm not sure why the original author didn't include it. Look at that boy's face!
