While driving through Los Angeles, in the United States, Sara caught sight of a silhouette on the side of the road. Perched on an embankment, she spotted a dog standing completely still.
The poor pup had been tied to a tree, completely unable to seek shelter.
A cautious approach
Realising the urgency of the situation, Sara did not hesitate for a second and called a friend for help.
Armed with treats, he approached the dog carefully so as not to frighten him. At first, the dog refused the food, but he gradually built up confidence.
"Covered in filth"
Once the animal was safely away from the road, he was taken straight to a rescue organisation. Named Marshall, the pup was "covered in filth and had probably never had a bath," Lisa Chiarelli told The Dodo.
Against all odds after such a traumatic ordeal, Marshall showed no aggression or anxiety around other dogs. Quite the opposite, in fact. His friendly nature prompted the shelter to set a specific adoption requirement: his future family must already own another dog to help him thrive.
