Cara had known that her hero, her father, could do anything. So, Cara watched as her father carefully lifted the boxer and carried her to safer ground.
Kenny could feel the dog’s ribs through her fur as he lifted her, and he told the Telegraph that “it was clear it had been quite a while since she had eaten.”
Luckily, Kenny knew just the way to remedy that. He and Cara brought the struggling pooch home and emptied out an entire tin of dog food.
The boxer scarfed the whole meal down in under fifteen seconds! The Bideau family decided the best course of action would be to shelter Bella for the night. She had been through enough trauma and drama for one day.
Bella seemed to realize she was safe now. She immediately curled up and went to sleep on the bed the family had prepared for her.
The next day, the Bideaus contacted the Rainbow Rehoming Centre, a Northern Ireland non-profit dedicated to finding good homes for unwanted animals.
“We are a family of animal lovers,” Kenny Bideau said. Certainly, the legacy of love is continuing with Cara, as proven by her instant knowledge of Bella’s distress and the desire to remove it.
Helen Davies, Kenny’s aunt—and the founder of Rainbow Rehoming—commented on Bella as well: “This dog was left to die down that hole, and [she] would have died if little Cara hadn’t gone and told her daddy. The dog is just in a really bad way and her teeth are all broken or worn away.”
Helen continued, “We do not know who put her in the hole,” Helen added, “But we do have evidence that she was neglected over a long period of time and that she was used exhaustively for breeding.”
The reason for Bella’s worn teeth was even more horrific…

I’m glad there was a happy ending. Some humans need to be treated with the same cruelty.

Unfortunately until the laws in this country make it a felony to run these puppy mills, poor dogs will be tortured for profit. Don’t stop, if you hear of a puppy mill, report it.

WTF is wrong with people. Take the dog to the shelter if you don’t want it. Give it a fighting chance to be adopted.
