<동물> 집 잃은 개, 감동적 가족재회
Our final story tonight begins with a dog suddenly separated from its owners. A dog more than a little determined to get back home. Here’s Steve Hartman’s Assignment America. Over the last 20 years, the Love Me Tender Animal Rescue in central Tennessee has rounded up more than a 1000 abandoned dogs. And although most are timid겁많은 and untrusting, this one was notably different. "I could just tell right away she was somebody's baby. She just didn't act like a stray dog to
Kathy Wilkes Myers found the Rottweiler a few months ago. It was emaciated수척한 and drinking water from a drainage배수 ditch along this empty stretch of highway. Kathy says it's typical for people to dump unwanted pets in the middle of nowhere like this. But again, the dog's demeanor행동 convinced her there was more to the story. So she did some detective work, and what she found is a heart-wrenching마음이 찡한 tale of unending loyalty. "She was hoping her family would come back. But they couldn't. They couldn't come back. It just breaks your heart."
Kathy found the first clues to this mystery right near where she found the dog. “All this broken glass and tail lights and the ground is off torn up.” And just down from there, a second set of even more intriguing흥미로운 clues. “And it’s like these items have been gathered up over there” By the dog, she assumed. “It’s like she was sleeping with them or waiting there with them.” She took this picture with her cell phone and gathered the items. They were mostly random, personal things, Toothbrush, comb, razor, a candle that said Michelle, but nothing that would explain anything, although now, she did have a hunch예감.
Kathy remembered two weeks earlier she'd driven by an accident on the same stretch of highway. She remembered because it was such a horrible crash. A single car had flipped over and landed on the side of the road at just about the same spot where she found the dog. Based on what she saw that day, Kathy figured there was no way a person could have survived. But what about a dog? So she called the highway patrol. "She gave me the mom's name and the dad's name and the mom's name is Michelle. And I just said, oh my God, this is their dog."
Thrown from the car, rescue crews never saw her. The dog spent 13 days scavenging쓰레기에서 찾아내다 for food along the highway and 13 nights bedding down임시처소에서 자다 with whatever she could find that smelled like her lost family. "That's the last spot she saw her family and she was going to stay there." Kathy figured it all out. Unfortunately, she got one thing very wrong. Someone did survive the crash. “I didn’t think we were going to make it out of it.” In face, all five passengers survived. "I'm lucky to be sitting here with my family." After two weeks believing their dog, Ella, had died, the family of Joe and Michelle Kelly got the most wonderful slobbery징징거리는 surprise of their lives.
Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet reunion because of the accident and the medical expenses, the Kelly family has had to temporarily relocate to a place that doesn't allow dogs. Believe it or not. The good news is Kathy has promised to hold on to Ella for as long as the Kelleys need to get back on their feet. For more on this story, you can go to our website, cbsnews.com.
