For four Good samaritans in the 7 Mile area of Detroit, it was an ordinary day of helping out people in the neighborhood. But when the boys went to assist a woman who was moving, they noticed an abandoned dog tied to the back of a house with bungee cords.Horrified at the dog’s treatment, brothers Kenny, Kenneth, and Kevin Dancy and their friend Andrew Daniels noticed that she was emaciated and shivering from the cold. Wrapping her up in a winter coat, they rescued her and brought her back to their home, where she finally got food and water. They decided to name her Sparkle.
