People often underestimate the emotional depth of dogs, not realizing they have big hearts and are capable of feeling a wide range of emotions.
Many are aware of this but still choose to act cruelly and leave their loyal companions in the worst of places. Consequently, the dogs are left with nothing but uncertainty and a broken heart.
Mudder, a soon-to-be momma dog, was one such victim. She was heartlessly thrown from a car in a Missouri park, with her owner not even looking back.
The Most Shocking Text Message
In their years of working with dogs, the Stray Rescue of St. Louis team has witnessed many heartbreaking situations. However, when a kind passerby sent them a text message about Mudder, they were all left in shock.
“Hi Stray Rescue. I just saw this dog get dumped. I’m pretty sure she’s pregnant. Can you help her?,” the message said.
The rescue immediately deployed a team of rescuers led by Donna Lochmann to inspect the area. The park the passerby referred to was a well-known “dumping spot,” but this case in particular was truly heartbreaking.
Donna and the team spotted Mudder overlooking the Mississippi river. She was evidently devastated by the abandonment, all covered in mud and rain.
But, then again, she was a genuinely sweet dog.
Although completely shattered by the recent events, Mudder didn’t think twice about opening her heart again. She soon warmed up to Donna and the team and allowed them to put a leash on her.
There was still a great deal of trust in her that even her owner’s heartless act couldn’t erase.
The good news was that the passerby managed to snap a photo of Mudder’s abandoner’s license plate. The Stray Rescue will be working closely with the police department to identify them and make them accountable for this act.
In the meantime, their entire focus is on Mudder.
She Needs Someone To Help Her Start A New Chapter
Unlike her last ride, this one with the kind team of rescuers felt much more comfortable. Mudder was safely placed on the passenger’s seat and she definitely enjoyed it.
She even allowed her rescuers to take an adorable photo of her heading into a new chapter, adding the first memories to her new life album.
Now, there’s only one question remaining – how long will Mudder need to wait until someone opens a home for her?
She’ll preferably need a foster to take her through pregnancy properly.
“Now she’s safe with us. But she needs a foster home where she can finish her pregnancy, give birth and nurse her babies in peace,” SRSL wrote in the video post.
Once she settles in the right home, Mudder will undoubtedly reveal her true colors. I’m sensing that she will have plenty to offer after her momma job is done! In fact, I’m one hundred percent sure!
