When one kindhearted person called for help after spotting an injured golden retriever lying unresponsive in the bushes, it was just in the nick of time. Although the rescuers couldn’t find any visible trauma, they knew something was “seriously wrong” with the dog.
Eldad Hagar and Loreta Frankonyte of the Los Angeles-based Hope for Paws dog-rescue organization responded to the call for help on March 6, 2020. They battled rush hour traffic to reach the dog in distress, and what they found when they arrived was the aftermath of a horrendous act of cruelty.
