Woman carries wounded pit bull down mountain(Rhyann lee)
Summary:
A photo taken by Andi Davis, the hiker who found him, shows the dog half standing, half collapsed, his head pressing against a rock.
Davis had walked about a half mile uphill last Friday, October 18, along a deserted trail in Phoenix when she found the black and white dog, suffering from bullet wounds, said Arizona Humane Society spokeswoman Bretta Nelson in an e-mail.
She hesitated for a moment before approaching the pit bull, Nelson said. But when he lifted his head as she reached for her water bottle, Davis put her apprehension aside, gave him a drink and then lifted the 47-pound dog into her arms, Nelson said. Then, she began walking.
"It will be OK," Davis kept telling the dog as she slowly picked her way down the path. Every so often she would stop, give him another drink, then stand up again and keep going. "At first she was shaking because she was scared," Nelson said. "Then she was shaking because of the weight of him." Eventually the dog stopped moving.Described as a "very fit person," it took Davis an hour to complete the journey, her arms aching, Nelson said. Davis's husband and daughter met her at the bottom and they took the dog to the Arizona Humane Society, where veterinarians examined him.
"I thought I would never see him again," Jessi said. "I knew he was in good hands, but I still felt very sad."
Doctors found an open abdominal wound, bullet fragments near his spinal cord and a bullet in the middle of his neck, Nelson said.The Davis family named him Elijah.
Analysis : I think it is so sweet for Davis to save this dog! Since I am a dog lover this touches my heart and makes me so mad that someone would leave a helpless dog to die !http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/24/us/arizona-woman-rescues-dog/index.html?c=us
