One man went above and above to save him after they tied him to an electric wire and prevented him from breathing.

Leaving a dog alone and unprotected on the street will always be a pretty cruel act, but it seems there are levels. At least that’s what a Missouri man who rescued a homeless puppy thought.

David Fredman was driving to work on Monday, August 5, when he saw an animal by the side of the road. 

The man slowed to confirm what it was, because  the brutality his eyes saw was unbelievable.

Fredman said: ‘I saw what looked like a dog hanging next to some kind of electrical box.

This good Samaritan decided to stop and help the terrified animal, but the sight he saw was very dangerous and he decided to call the emergency number .

“The cable must have strangled him. His feet touched the ground, but it was difficult for him to reach. He tried to move his head from left to right but could barely do it,” said David Fredman.

The man knew he had to fight the clock if he wanted to save the animal’s life, so he grabbed an object to cut the cable and free it.

“As soon as I cut him, he tried to breathe. She couldn’t breathe very well. I tried to get him to walk and he couldn’t walk either. The way I found it, I couldn’t believe someone would do that to an animal,” David said.

Fredman decided to take the dog to the KC Pet Project , an animal shelter in Kansas City.

At the scene, the dog’s story turned upside down when it was discovered that it had a microchip and belonged to a family that had been looking for it.

Also, Fredman learned that the name of the animal he had saved was Max . It wasn’t a homeless puppy, but one with a family that had been searching for it.

In a matter of hours Max was able to recover and return to his home with his real owners.

“Thanks to David’s quick actions and the power of a microchip, we were able to safely bring Max back home to his family,” said Dee Vaughn, the dog’s owner.

Mr. Vaughn was contacted two hours after Max was found.

Dee is not only grateful to David for making the dog’s return home possible, but tries to figure out how Max was taken away and ended up dangling from that crate on an interstate overpass in Missouri.

In gratitude, Dee Vaughn invited David to a dinner with her family.

Surely, this and more deserved this generous man who was able to turn around to save an animal’s life. We are sad to know that there are heartless people who can do these things, but where there is such a person, fate has placed a person with a big heart ready to do good.

Leaving an animal in this way is a serious crime. Share this note and invite your friends to report if they see a scene like this Be the voice of those who don’t have it!
