Woman rescues dog abandoned in NYC subway station

A woman rescued a dog abandoned in a New York City subway station after seeing an Instagram post on an account that helps unwanted belongings find a new home.

The “NYC Free at the Curb” Instagram account is a handy public service. Eagle-eyed New Yorkers send pictures of furniture or useful items that have been tossed out in the hope those items can find a new life in a new home.

A woman on her way to work last Monday sent in a photo of a confused, sad-looking pit bull mix she spotted tied up with a rope in the Fulton Street subway station.

Heather Hamm had been thinking about getting a dog for some time. That night, she was home looking at her phone when she saw the post about the abandoned dog.

“I was actually just looking previously at foster dogs, and then, I had opened up Instagram and I saw her. She was the first post on there, and I was like, ‘There she is,’” Hamm said.

There's a picture of them at the site. Thanks, Heather, and I hope you and Peaches have a long, lovely life together.

1. I love everything about this story, but...

... The picture of the dog tied up, patiently waiting for it's asshole owner at the bottom of the stairs is heartbreaking.

Congratulations! Peaches!

4. There really are times when you really have to wonder who's pulling all the strings in the universe.

This was so coincidental, and she never hesitated; if she did she may have missed the dog altogether as it sounds as if the police were ready to take her to the pound.

There is fate for sure. What a terrifying time it must have been for her sitting on that stairway, with people going up and down and trains whizzing by endlessly.

So happy for her and Pink!
