Homeless Woman Treks Three Miles in Rain to Help Abandoned Dog



A woman who found a dog running loose in Point Fermin Park in San Pedro, California wound up walking the dog three miles in a rain storm to get the poor guy to an animal shelter. There, at very least, he would be dry and not wandering the dangerous streets at night all alone.

Joey is a one-year-old pointer mix. When Lisa Snyder, his rescuer, came across him in the park, he was beside himself. He still had his collar on, and a bit of leash was still attached to the collar. It seemed that his former owners tied him up to a light post in the park, and pinned a note to him with the following on it: “My name is Joey. I am looking for a home. Please take care of me!”

Lisa is an animal lover, so she took the time to try and wrangle the young dog in and comfort him a bit.

“He was scared. He was snapping. And growling. And trying to get away from people. He was just scared,” said Lisa.
