Spotted wandering alone and vulnerable outside a Walmart store in Birmingham, Alabama, in the USA, a stray dog quickly became a priority for local rescuers. But from their very first attempt to get close, the team realised this pup wasn't going to make things easy. Although fearful, the dog was extremely observant and simply refused to let anyone near him.
Outsmarting the traps
With the dog refusing any direct contact, the volunteers quickly stepped up their efforts by setting up traditional traps filled with food. While this method is usually highly effective, it proved no match for this clever canine.
In the end, it took the rescue team a whopping 71 days to finally catch up with him.
A brand new start
Success finally came thanks to a tailored strategy. By combining endless patience, hidden cameras, and a brand-new trapping system, the team managed to safely secure the dog without causing him any harm.
Once safely captured, he was taken straight to the vet for a full check-up. Today, he is starting a brand new life, miles away from the streets he once roamed so brilliantly.
