Driving the usual stretch to work along a wooded road just outside Dickson Tennessee James Allen recently noticed something that made him hit the brakes Standing by the side of the thoroughfare was a skinny tan dog who seemed to be guarding a cardboard box
Walking over to investigate Allen realized the box was full of five puppies The older dog standing guard was surely their mother Seemingly someone had dumped them here and left them all alone
Mom was looking up the road as if to see whether her people were returning a representative from Proverbs 1210 Animal Rescue told The Dodo
Concerned Allen posted pictures of the pups to Facebook hoping someone might be able to help Soon he connected with Proverbs 1210 Animal Rescue where rescuers were eager to get the dogs indoors
These babies and mom are now safe with us the rescue wrote in a Facebook post later that night
In no time the mom and her pups settled into life at the rescue enjoying a warm bed and plenty of food
Proverbs 1210 Animal Rescue staff were dismayed but not necessarily surprised that this little family had been fending for themselves
Sadly things like this occur far too frequently in this area the Proverbs 1210 Animal Rescue representative said Regardless of the redundancy of these situations it infuriates me and breaks my heart
Finally safe this resilient family will never worry about making it on their own ever again
