A Hero Behind the Wheel: Driver Stops His Drive to Save Two Puppies Desperately Struggling in a Creek

It’s hard to surprise the seasoned rescuers at Special Needs Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation Northeast (SNARR) — after 13 years of saving animals in their Brewster, New York, neighborhood, they’ve seen just about everything. But a call SNARR received earlier this month about two abandoned puppies was unlike anything they’d ever seen.

Fortunately, a good Samaritan witnessed the event and dropped everything to save the pups. The kind stranger scooped the babies up from the creek and quickly brought them to SNARR headquarters without hesitation.

“These fragile souls are very lucky to be alive,” SNARR wrote. “Thanks to a compassionate good Samaritan who bravely rescued them from the creek, they now have a chance to survive.”

“We don’t know what further challenges await them, but we are determined to fight for their lives,” SNARR wrote.

They soon found an amazing foster home, where they have been ever since. They now spend their days snuggled together in warm, fluffy beds, taking turns giving their foster mom kisses.

“Their foster mom says they are absolutely the most adorable babies,” Lauren F. of SNARR told The Dodo. “They are playful and affectionate… and they get so excited when they come out of the kennel in the morning and see you for the first time!”
