Chú chó bị trói vào cây không thể ngừng vẫy đuôi khi lực lượng cứu hộ đến
“[H] e dường như nói, ‘Ồ, cảm ơn chúa, vâng, hãy đến giúp tôi!'”
Khi nói đến việc cứu chó, đội cứu hộ Stray Rescue of St. Louis (SRSL) đã quen với việc đi xa và rộng. Họ lái xe vô số dặm một tuần để lùng sục khắp thành phố để tìm những chú chó có nhu cầu. Nhưng một nhiệm vụ giải cứu hồi đầu tháng này đã xảy ra gần nhà một cách bất thường, và sự gần gũi của nó khiến toàn bộ đội bị choáng váng.
Trong khi đi bộ dọc theo vỉa hè bên ngoài SRSL, được lót bằng gạch tưởng niệm và băng ghế cho du khách, nhân viên tìm thấy một người bạn bốn chân bị trói vào một cái cây.
“Chú chó này bị trói bên ngoài”, SRSL viết trên Facebook.
The group of workers was shocked by their discovery. Families typically stopped by the memorial sidewalk with their dogs, but this pit bull mix was sadly all alone. The team rushed over to help him, and they could tell right away how happy he was to see them.
“As we approached him, he seemed to say, ‘Oh, thank goodness, yes, come help me! I’m all by myself! I’m just a baby boy!” SRSL wrote.
The dog, later named Professor Plum, jumped with gratitude when he realized he was finally being saved. He welcomed his new friends with enthusiastic tail wags and endless face kisses. They reciprocated with gentle pats and loving affirmations.

Once freed from his post, the team led Professor Plum back to the shelter and gave him a thorough evaluation. They cleared the sweet boy for foster care and found the perfect temporary home for him almost immediately.
“He’s so sweet that he actually left for a foster home the same day!” Natalie Thomson, SRSL’s chief communications officer, told The Dodo. “I didn’t even get to meet him!”
Professor Plum left SRSL a few hours after he was initially discovered, feeling eternally grateful for the staff that saved his life. When he arrived at his foster home, he had no idea he’d be reuniting with a familiar face from his early puppy days.
“I fostered him and his sister at 10 weeks old, and both got adopted,” Barb Kumar, Professor Plum’s foster mom told The Dodo. “Now, at 16 months old, he is with me.”
Professor Plum covered his beloved caregiver with kisses and settled right into her home again. This time, a new pack of dog siblings was waiting to greet him, and he clicked with them instantly.
It’s been a few weeks since Professor Plum’s rescue, and he is doing better than ever. When he’s not going on walks with his two siblings, he can usually be found cuddled up next to his foster mom, dreaming up his next big adventure.
Profession Plum is in the process of being adopted by another loving family, whom he’ll soon spend forever with. With a personality like his, Kumar is confident that the best is yet to come for the boy.
“Professor Plum is quite amazing!” Kumar said.
