Owners leave behind their sweet Pitbull to be crushed in garbage dump truck
The shocking reality of how some people treat their animals is sometimes hard to comprehend. The overwhelmingly vast majority of pet owners are kind, caring, and loving, but occasionally, a bad apple goes and shows us just how terrible humans can be. Thankfully, for most of those people, there are kind humans in excess to cancel it out!
The unfathomable reality of the way some people treat the animals in their lives is just that, nearly impossible to understand. While most pet owners loving and compassionate toward their animals, every now and then a bad apple turns up that shows just how rotten some people can be.
The good thing is that for every cruel person out there, there’s an abundance of wonderful human beings to cancel them out.
This pup’s story involves both types of human beings.
Unfortunately, the beginning is rough.
A waste management crew was doing their rounds when something disconcerting happened.
Danny Cormier is an employee on a garbage truck that services the Bradenton area and was driving while his partner was dumping bins into the truck.
Looking back, he saw a little head sticking out of one of the dumpsters they were about to clear.
When Danny told his partner, Ahriel Jones, that he thought he saw a head poking out of the dumpster, the two decided to go investigate. Ahriel was worried it may be a dead animal someone tossed in the garbage, but as they got closer, they realized that wasn’t the case at all.
There was a Pitbull stuck in the dumpster.
The poor thing was desperately trying to stick her head out.
The two were amazed that a dog was in the dumpster and slowly approached the scared pooch.
She was terrified and didn’t want anyone to get close to her. It was clear that this dog was in need of help and that she was traumatized from her past interactions with humans.
When they looked inside the dumpster, it was painfully clear she wasn’t there by accident.
There was furniture, garbage, and a kennel inside.
Someone had gotten frustrated and decided they didn’t want the dog anymore. Their solution? To toss all the dog’s things in it and then throw the dog in after it.
If Danny wouldn’t have noticed the dog’s head poking out, they would have dumped the poor animal into their compactor.
Most trucks have a receiving area where they place the trash. As they drive, a compactor then presses it together and moves it towards the back of the truck.
If the dog would have been dumped she would’ve been crushed in their truck.
Naming the dog Daisy, they took it in and reported the incident to the police.
Daisy was weak from dehydration and needed help. After they stabilized her, they took her to the Manatee County Animal Services where she has officially been put up for adoption.
The shelter describes her as being bright, playful, and full of energy. She has also made lots of progress with the trauma associated with her abandonment. Things are looking up for Daisy.
The next steps are to find her a home and catch the people who did this to her.
The local police have launched an investigation into the former owners to try and bring them to justice. Thankfully, Daisy is on her way to finding a new home with people who deserve all the love and affection she has to offer.
All that remains is to catch the cruel people who tried to do this in the first place. Sometimes, the good guys do win.
