Miracles are hard to come by these days, but there’s no better way to describe the abandoned dog who nearly died after being abandoned in a dumpster on Christmas day.
According to WSBTV, someone heard the young dog’s cries for help and called the police. When officers arrived, they found a freezing, malnourished dog wrapped in a garbage bag and cruelly discarded like trash. The dog was rushed to an Atlanta animal hospital, but she was in such bad condition that no one knew if she would live.
“She was almost solidly frozen, and Doc thought three times he was going to have to put her down,” said Penny Jenkins, manager at Atlanta West Veterinary Hospital, where veterinarians rushed to save the young dog. “But she kept fighting, and so did we,” said Jenkins, whose coworkers named the rescued dog Miracle.
Police are still looking for the cruel person who left this dog on Christmas Day, leaving it to freeze to death.
