A dog has been rescued from a remote trail in Oklahoma after a man was caught on camera dumping the pet to fend for itself in the middle of nowhere.
The puppy, now named Rocket, was found by animal rescuers after nine hours alone on the trail according to a post on Facebook by the Oklahoma Alliance for Animals.
Trail cameras showed a man abandoning the dog and driving away in his car, according to the post. Because the trail cameras were active rescuers were able to respond.
“This is absolutely not ok. Dumping a poor defenceless animal in the middle of nowhere and driving away is cruel,” the charity wrote.
Rescuers said that the pooch had been vetted, fed, and given a safe warm place to rest his head following the abandonment.
“While we understand that people may be struggling to care for their pets due to Covid, there are resources and organisations here to help, including us. Doing this to living, feeling being should never be the answer,” they said.
“Rocket was lucky,” they added. “If cameras weren’t rolling, who knows what fate would have befallen Rocket.”
“We will ensure he never suffers this fate again,” they said.

Girl Rescues Dying Dog And Then He Let’s Her Know It’s Time To Say ‘Goodbye’
We’ve all heard or seen stories about dogs on their way to the Rainbow Bridge. Each time they touch our hearts, it is in a different way. This is the story of Sophiane and Hippo.
Even though this homeless dog was too sick to save, Sophiane Nacer still wanted to give him the best ‘end of days’ she could. She resolved that Hippo, an old stray with tumors, would only sense love when he left this world.
“Even if it was just for a day,” Sophiane, the 19-year-old founder of Cayleb’s Kindred Senior Dog Rescue, told TODAY, Hippo would have the happiest last day of his life.
After a five-day wait, Sophiane adopted Hippo and took him home from the shelter. The skin on the unfortunate dog was itchy to touch. Sophiane was unsure whether Hippo could feel anything because he was in so much pain.
All her doubts evaporated as she saw his tail wag. The ailing dog was still optimistic. He FOUGHT to feel love and happiness before he left this world.
So Sophiane took Hippo to Starbucks and bought him a Puppuccino, a hidden menu item that dogs like that is basically a cup filled with delicious whipped cream.
The next day, Hippo was still upbeat, so Sophiane took him to a dog park for some playtime. He loved every minute of it! But then he remembered Sophiane.
The old dog, who was suffering yet hopeful, had a message for his new best friend… He was ready to depart. He was ecstatic to be able to spend time with Sophiane, but he was tired and in pain, and it was time to say goodbye.
Sophiane had a vet euthanasia specialist visit her home after the dog park. The vet specialist had prepared a stuffed roasted chicken for him. He was able to have his final meal with Sophiane as peacefully as possible before falling into a painless permanent sleep.
While this is a heartbreaking story in many ways, it is also quite inspiring. A dying dog who would otherwise have known only suffering was able to spend the rest of his little life feeling loved and wanted.
May all dogs leave this world feeling as loved as this one! Rest in peace, Hippo. You were a fantastic young man!
