The phrase, she was “at the right place, at the right time” certainly rings true for this puppy who was discovered by a passerby just in the nick of time.

A woman was passing by in the snow when suddenly she heard the saddest puppy wails, and they pierced her heart. So, she followed the sound and saw a wounded brown puppy lying on the snow and ice next to the side of a road.

The freezing puppy was terrified and screaming in fear. The pup had a large, infected wound on its side and was in obvious distress. The woman knew she had to help the dog, so she spoke calmly to it until she was then able to put a leash around its neck.

After she secured the terrified puppy, she lured it to her car with promises of help and warmth. Once inside, the dog began to realize it was safe and even began to wag its tail. She then rushed it to a veterinary hospital for help.

Once there, the vet determined that the terrible wound was most likely caused by an embedded harness. Fortunately, the vet was able to treat the wound and the dog survived the infection and nearly freezing to death.

They determined the puppy to be about seven months old and certainly once it is well will be placed in the perfect home. The little pup is lucky to be alive and that its rescuer was at the right place, at the right time.
