” We really did not know he was a canine at first,” Carrillo, an employee of Shoreline Pipes in Texas, told The Dodo. “We reversed and saw him.” The dog’s mouth was taped shut and he would certainly been tied up with tubing. He was clearly left there to die …

Carillo and his buddy hurried to cut the pooch free. “He appeared OK,” said Carrillo. “He was very caring and suched as the interest. He was probably simply there for a day or so.”

The plumbers got the dog into their vehicle and took him to Peewee’s Pet Fostering, a nearby no-kill sanctuary. ” Take a look at that face,” wrote Carrillo about just how pleased the dog seemed to be alive. “He recognizes he was saved!”

It turned out the canine remained in health despite having heartworms, for which they began a therapy. “His tail will not quit wagging,” a spokesperson at the Peewee’s Animal Fostering Said. “He’s such a sweetie.”

The individual who so heartlessly left the dog to pass away wasn’t located, but at least thanks to the plumbers, the canine obtained a second possibility at life. All he needs currently is a loving forever home.
