A woman out for a run found a dog on the side of the road in a ditch. She worked with abandoned animals and was always striving to help these poor animals. As she was running, she saw a shadow in the ditch. She could tell the animal was scared, but she wasn’t sure what it was just yet.

But as she approached, she saw the dog was a thin and starving rottweiler. Knowing she had to help the dog, she approached slowly and gently because she wasn’t sure the dog’s history. Plus, since the dog was hungry, it would likely be especially annoyed.

This poor dog had once had a family and was now abandoned.
