Terrified Dog Left Chained in the Woods in Amsterdam
A heartbreaking video shared by News Channel 13 shows the moment a frightened white dog was discovered deep in the woods along the Amsterdam bike path, cold, alone, and barking desperately for help.
According to WNYT, a man walking his own dog on the path heard frantic barking in the darkness. His dog, which, according to the report, was coincidentally adopted from the Montgomery County SPCA, pulled him off the trail and toward the sound.
That’s when, according to the report, he found a terrified white dog, chained to a tree with a short chain wrapped tightly around its neck, unable to move or escape the freezing temperatures.
The dog was rescued and is now receiving care at the Montgomery County SPCA. Animal Control Officer Gina Kline told WNYT that if he hadn’t been found when he was, he would have frozen to death.
