It’s easy to get wrapped up in daily activities. However, it’s also important to be aware of your surroundings – as you never know when a person or creature will need a helping hand.

A father named Dion Cole was headed into work one Friday afternoon. Despite being late, he didn’t hesitate to stop after witnessing a heartbreaking sight on the side of the road.

It’s something he couldn’t ignore.

Dion was stunned to see another motorist throw a dog out of his parked vehicle, then speed off trying to leave it behind. Sadly, the poor animal ran after its owner’s truck until it tired out and collapsed on the road.

Without hesitation, Dion pulled over to try and help the dog. But it was so terrified that it ran into the woods.

Dion told his wife Danielle about the incident. She too was furious that someone could do such a cruel act.

The couple decided to go back and look for the scared dog together. Although they hoped to rescue him that night – it actually took several tries before they could get the animal safely into their car.

Danielle shared the details of what happened in an emotional Facebook post that’s gone viral. She addressed it to the heartless person who abandoned the dog, hoping he would read it. Let’s just say she doesn’t hold back!

It starts out:

“To the dirt bag that threw his dog out in the Allegan forest on 48th street Friday at about 3:30pm. Let me tell you what your dog went through, as you sped off your dog chased after you and ran [as] fast as his little legs would let him until his legs gave out and collapsed on the side of the road. My husband seen this all happen [and] he stopped to help your dog but the little guy was so scared that he ran into the forest and hid.”

The mom then describes how they returned to look for the pooch, who must have been frightened beyond belief.

“Later that evening we went to look for your dog [and] he was right where you left him waiting for you to come back, once again he ran scared for his life. Saturday morning I took some treats and my dog in hopes that he would feel comfortable enough to come up to my dog. Well he was thinking about [it] but then someone else stopped to help and he ran back into the forest.”

Danielle couldn’t get the dog off her mind, so they packed up some food to bring to him. When they got to the site, there were other kind strangers there trying to catch the dog as well. Luckily, they ended up being successful and the couple took him home.

She goes on to say:

“How could you throw your dog out like a piece of trash? This handsome little guy is so sweet and loving, he loves my kids especially my son, he likes my other dogs. I truly believe my husband was [supposed] to be running late that day so that he was able to see what you did. It’s just [too] bad he couldn’t get your plate number.”

Full of emotion, Danielle then tells the guy:

“You are a real scumbag and you will answer to what you did one day. PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE SO MAYBE THE DIRT BAG WILL SEE THIS POST.”

Danielle shared in the comments that they were trying to find the dog a loving forever home. Although there hasn’t been an update since, hopefully, that’s exactly what he got!
