You know you have to do something when, while driving your automobile, a dog stops in the middle of the road just ahead of your vehicle and refuses to move away. That was exactly what these two guys, both caretakers at the Dog Rescue Shelter Mladenovac in Serbia, found themselves facing when they saw this dog. After they got out of their vehicle, the dog started panicking a bit, and they had to be careful not to frighten her into making a run for it because there was a truck approaching, coming from ahead of them.
It was a rather delicate situation, for both the dog and the guys trying to rescue her — one wrong move could trigger a reaction that would have disastrous consequences. Yet they couldn’t simply stay put either, because then they would risk losing the dog if she chose to run towards another direction, especially if she was able to enter someone’s property. There was some apprehension in the dog’s body language, and both guys knew that they needed to speed things up if they were going to take this one off the streets for good, and began to make their move.
They shifted their focus on the approaching truck and gestured for the driver to slow down as it got nearer to avoid hitting the dog. It wasn’t clear whether the driver understood what they were trying to tell him and the truck went within a few inches from the dog’s head. It was as if the dog had been frozen in its place because it didn’t move an inch. Finally, when the truck was gone and they were able to come closer to their new charge, they were able to confirm that it was, indeed, a she.
After bringing her to the shelter, they scanned her body for any sign of illness that would require immediate medical attention. They found none, which meant that it was time for a super relaxing bath and a hot tasty meal. With luck, she’ll be able to find a forever home, with the help of her new guardians.
