Nothing could have prepared Gin Walker for the heartbreaking sight she encountered while walking toward a dumpster in her neighborhood, carrying items to dispose of. Upon opening the lid, she was shocked to find a white Pit Bull mix with a black marking on his face staring back at her with the saddest eyes, pleading for help. Her heart sank as she realized the desperate nature of the creature trapped within.
Without hesitation, Walker called 9-1-1, prompting a rapid response from the City of Ann Arbor Police Department, with Washtenaw County Animal Control also heading to the scene to provide assistance.
Saving The Dog From The Dumpster
As the police and animal control arrived and saw the pup lying atop the pile of trash, they were horrified to discover he had a large tumor on the left side of his ribs and seemed unable to get up. Without a collar or microchip, they worked quickly, using a harness to lift him from the dumpster.
They shared his heartbreaking story on their Facebook, accompanied by photos of the rescue.
The public reacted with outrage at the cruelty inflicted upon the dog. The Humane Society of Huron Valley took him in and provided the necessary veterinary care, where he received a thorough examination.
The Doggo Is In Good Hands
Estimated to be around ten years old, the dog was initially nervous but showed sweetness. After allowing him some time to decompress, the staff took him for a walk. He didn’t walk for long but enjoyed sniffing around and sampling treats. While he undergoes treatment, the veterinary team is working to diagnose the mass on his side.
In the meantime, the police are actively investigating the incident to identify those responsible for abandoning him. They urge anyone with any information about the dog and his previous owner to come forward.
“Anyone who may recognize him or has information about its owner is urged to call the AAPD front desk at (734) 794-6920 or email the tip line at [email protected],” the police wrote in a Facebook post.
Everyone hopes he will make a full recovery and begin a new life filled with love, as he truly deserves happiness after the trauma and mistreatment he has endured.
