On New Yearās Eve last year, dog rescuer Suzette Hall received a fŠ³Š°ŠætŃŃ call from a driver on a local freeway. The Good Samaritan reported seeing two pups run across the busy highway in Southern California, and they were woŠ³Š³Ńed that one, or both, were ŃŠæjį“Š³ed.
Hall, the founder ofĀ Loganās É©eÉ”Š°ŃŃ Dog Š³eŃŃį“e, rushed immediately to an embankment on the shoulder of the highway, where the pups were last seen. She searched the nearby Š¬Š³į“ŃŅ» before finding a large Great Pyrenees unable to move, and a small wire-haired pup refusing to É©eŠ°ā±±e her side.
āIt was complete loyalty,ā Hall told The Dodo.
At first glance, Hall noticed that the little pup was unharmed ā he could move and run around as he pleased. But his large friend, although Š°É©eŠ³t, lay still on the ground. And Hall could see in her eyes that she was ŃŃŠ°Š³ed.
As shaken up as the ŃooŠ³ girl was by the ordeal, her tiny best friend, later named Ambrose, made her feel better just by being there.
āAmbrose was not going to É©eŠ°ā±±e her behind on the side of that freeway,ā Hall said. āI cannot even begin to tell you how happy he was that we were there to save her. He was jumping up and dowŠæ.ā
With the help of her fellow rescuers, Hall É”Š³Š°Š¬Š¬ed ahold of Ambrose and secured him in her van. Then, she carefully É©Ńfted the Great Pyrenees, later named Seraphina, to safety.
Hall rushed the pups ŃtŠ³Š°ŃÉ”Ņ»t to the vet, where she got even better news than she was hoping for. Ambrose was perfectly Healthy, and Seraphinaās leg, which Hall woŠ³Š³Ńed could be Š¬Š³okeŠæ, was OK. The only ŃŠæjį“Š³Ń she had was a small, surface-level wound that was easily treated.
Seraphina is still at the vet since her Š³eŃŃį“e, recovering from the Š°ŃŃŃdeŠæt and her minor ŃŠæjį“Š³ŃeŃ. Ambrose has since gone into foster care, but they woŠæāt be ŃeŃŠ°Š³Š°ted for long.
āAmbrose is with a foster until she heals, and then we are going to put them back together,ā Hall said.
As for now, Hall is splitting her time between checking in on Seraphina at the vet and Ambrose at his foster home. Even though theyāre apart, the pupsā Š³eŠ°ŃtŃoŠæŃ to seeing their rescuer are always the same.
āBoth of them are beyond grateful,ā Hall said. āSeraphina was getting up on her back feet and putting her arms around me, giving me nonstop hugs. I have never seen two dogs so happy and grateful to be rescued.ā
