[Music] while out in the woods the hunter comes across an injured dog tied to a tree when he takes a closer look he cannot hold back his tears deer season was Dwight's favorite time of year the weather was fresh and invigorating and after a week of rain he was ready to tackle whatever fate thre him hopefully it would take the shape of a deer Buck 150 pounder in the prime of life but as Dwight followed the red route his ears picked up strange sound SS he could not quite place the high-pitched whimpering came from behind
a large Redwood and he rushed towards it to investigate the sight he saw on the other side of the tree broke his heart and moved him to tears a weary emaciated female dog was tied to the tree on a leash so tight that it cut painfully into her skin her face and near side were marked with deep angry gashes but the worst part of it was the litter of newborn pups blindly seeking War warmth in milk from their poor wounded mother as a dedicated Hunter and Wilderness expert Dwight had made it a life Habit to
be well equipped for his excursions but in this case it was difficult to determine where to begin the dog looked terrified of him and quickly threw her puppies behind her as she struggled to stand up Dwight grabbed a small pack of beef jerky from his pocket and slowly approached her letting her smell the meat when she nibbled at it he gently patted her to show her he meant no harm as she calmed down he opened up his pack got out the bogey knife and got to work freeing the mama dog he had to work very
carefully to avoid injuring her and as he laid a hand across her to hold her still he could feel her trembling with fear beneath his fingers he edged the bogey knife Beneath The Noose and slowly sawed at the Rope cutting strand by strand until it fell away at last he could now see that the Rope had caused a pattern of broken skin that went all the way around her neck but once freed the mother dog totally ignored her own predicament instead focusing all her attention on her frightened and traumatized youth Dwight waited while she sniffed
each puppy and reassured them with a few licks lacking a bowl Dwight emptied out his lunchbox and poured some water into it the mother dog lapped it up within seconds and Dwight quickly poured some more water out the puppies squealed to get their mother's attention and she snuffled them there were five of them but she was especially interested in a little runt whose face looked darker and a little more squashed up than the others it did not squeal as much as the others while she was distracted by her litter Dwight made a furtive examination of
the mother's injuries he suspected that she might need stitches for at least one of the cuts and most likely shots to prevent infection he had no idea how she had ended up with such injuries but given their nature he suspected she must must have hurt herself while trying to break free Dwight had some more gauze in his pack and for the moment that would be better than nothing he unwrapped some and used it to cover the worst of her wounds whoever had left her alone in the middle of the forest with a pregnant belly no
food and no water had better not come back this way he thought once he had finished bandaging the mother dog he bundled up the whole litter in his parka he turned back the way he had come and made for his allterrain vehicle as he had hoped the mother trotted after him to stay with their pups he went slowly so as not to over strain her after her terrible ordeal back at the parking lot the mother dog suddenly had second thoughts perhaps she had been brought to this place in a vehicle very much like his own
and now considered that her rescuer might not be trusted after all Dwight opened a door and laid the Parker with the puppies down on the back seat the mother howled in distress and at the sound of her voice the tiny PU puppies also began to squeal again it's okay he said I'm not going to hurt you I want to help you but the mother dog just got more and more agitated he tried to nudge her toward the car but she leapt up on her hind leg and jumped a few yards away from the car distressed
at their mother's Behavior the puppies wriggled all over they were now yelping loudly and the mother stood a little way from his vehicle barking at Dwight as if he was the villain of the story then he remembered that he had another bargaining chip in his favor a generous stash of his own homemade deer jerky he had never met a canine who could resist it and since the dog had literally devoured the small snack he had offered her before he was pretty confident that she was going to like this too he retrieved a few pieces from
the bag at his approach she let out a volley of barks Dwight took one piece and tossed it at her then he turned around it was up to her now by the time d approached the puppies again the mother dog was walking alongside him he praised her and let her have another piece of jerky this time she took it from his hand he praised her again then turned around to check on the puppies they yelped for their mother and her head turned a skew to listen to their voices Dwight gave her another piece of jerky
although she still appeared slightly conflicted she was clearly making up her mind that this human was perhaps to be trusted despite the fact that he drove a suspicious vehicle Dwight got some more jerky from the bag and tossed a few onto the back seat where the puppies were the mother dog let out a few Yelps of anxiety Then leapt onto the back seat he closed the door behind and got into the driver's seat Dwight's first stop was the Parkside Animal Clinic where he had another challenge persuading mama dog to enter she really seemed to have
trust issues and Little Wonder considering how cruy she had been treated by her previous owner he had to get some more deer jerky to do the trick the vet checked for postpartum complications and also examined each of the puppies he was particularly concerned about one of them the one with the slightly squashed up face and advised to keep it at the clinic for at least a few days the vet gave Dwight a nutritional supplement and specially formulated food for the mother dog as well as a formula to add to the puppy feeding he treated the
mother dog's wounds which fortunately only required a few stitches with the right food and care the mother dog recovered quickly her puppies were all healthy even the poor squashed faed puppy pulled through much to everyone's surprise as the mother dog recovered her condition Dwight was able to focus on her hidden talents her intelligence and natural speed made her a Natural Choice as a hunting dog a friend of his who trained hunting dogs advised him to bring her over every week for training the mother dog passed every test and both men realized that she had been
a hunting dog before perhaps she had been abandoned because her pregnancy had slowed her down strangely enough her previous owner hadn't realized he had a gold mine in his hands because of her Talent her pups were also quick to be adopted they could have been sold at a steep price but Dwight decided against it the mother dog stayed with him of course without a shadow of a doubt that first bag of jerky must have played a huge role in her loyalty she recovered well from her wounds although there was a scar at her throat that
remained visible for a long time after although Dwight never did find out who had left her tied up there were one or two Clues this was a small community and there weren't many Hunters around who brought dogs with them although she eventually showed no hesitation getting into Dwight's vehicle she could not be persuaded to like anyone else who drove that brand of vehicle once at a service station a leather clad young guy and his girlfriend sauntered past Dwight's dog had her hackles up and was growling softly he was tempted to jump out of the vehicle
and confront them but ultimately he just stroked her face and gave her another piece of deer jerky fortunately she stopped growling at Once In Time the painful memory of their first encounter would turn into a joyous occasion and they would face the future without reservations what a Bittersweet story would you have confronted the people at the service station if you have a similar story about a pet you rescued from a horrific situation tell us in the comments we'd love to hear it for now though we're out of here we'll see you in the next video
