['I once lived in a hotel and was already overfull with animals and I heard a dog barking panicked in the woods one night. She was tied up in over 100 degree weather- no water, filthy, way overbred and starved.', 'That is despicable.  What did you do?', "I was terrified for a moment as it was back in the woods where some sketchy people hang out at night and live- but I grabbed her from that rope and I hid her for a few days until I found a rescue. I was threatened too- Her owner was out DRINKING instead of feeding or watering her- She was so starved and could've died in the heat. Even though I was scared there was no way I was giving her back."]
I agree with that.  That animal is probably very lucky because of you.
I rescued a dog in the woods. Was scary!
