A tiny puppy that should’ve been spending his days with his mama and feeling loved, was left on a bridge all by himself. He wasn’t just abandoned there.
He was put inside a sack that was double tied tightly. He cried relentlessly over and over again, praying someone would hear him. The brave little one knew he had to fight to live.
Finally, a woman heard him crying and called a local animal rescuer. She didn’t open the bag herself because she was too afraid of what she might find.
This type of abandonment is beyond cruel and the woman felt if he was also badly injured as well, that she wouldn’t be able to handle it. The animal rescuer was thankfully very close by and ran over.

The rescuer found the bag and tried to open it but it was reinforced with a thick tie. He still worked at it while the baby cried loudly. It really was a devastating thing to witness. And he couldn’t get the bag open fast enough!

It was raining and cold. The puppy continued to cry while the rescuer worked on the bag. He was too afraid to cut it open, just in case he injured the puppy further.
Finally, after a few minutes, the kind man was able to open the bag. He was not at all prepared for what he found next!

The poor puppy wasn’t even a month old! He was freezing and shaking. The man picked him up and hugged him tightly. He then saw ticks embedded in his ears.
This poor baby wasn’t cared for at all and then he was dumped all by himself in a heartless way! Well, his life was about to change… FOR THE BETTER! The man vows to love him and gives him the biggest hug and kiss.

Now it’s time for the puppy to go home with the kind man. He gives him puppy formula and lots of snuggles. The puppy will be vet-checked the next day but for now, he needs a full belly, a light bath, and lots of sleep. The puppy is laid down on the man’s bed after he’s clean and fed, and then drifts off to sleep.

When the little puppy wakes up, it’s time to eat again. He’s so small that the man has to search for the tiniest dish he has. The puppy is so hungry and eagerly eats all the food. This is an excellent sign. A dog that eats wants to live! He also has no problem keeping all the food down. HOORAY!

The vet sees the puppy the next day and besides some treatable issues, he gives the puppy a clean bill of health. He’s still staying with his rescuer, as his foster dad, until he’s old enough to go to a forever home.
We are so grateful that the puppy was found in time. His story began tragically but he will now live a blissful life.

10 of the Smartest Dogs in the World:
A friend of mine has a beautiful Dalmatian. Friendly, energetic and lovable, she was a perfect family pet… but she wasn’t the smartest pooch on the planet. See, she knew how to go through the pet door out into the garden, but she had no clue how to get back inside. It never occurred to her that the flap could swing both ways. So she would sit outside and howl until my friend would open the door.
Repeated demonstrations of the dual movement of the flap had no effect; it just did not compute. The dog breeds on this list, however, probably don’t have that problem. They’re widely considered to be among the cleverest canines in the world. Take a look and see if you agree.
1. German Shepherd

No surprise here. German Shepherds are the world’s best police dogs, military dogs, and some have even been movie stars (remember Rin Tin Tin?). Brave, loyal, smart and strong, they’re the total package.
2. Beagle
Also on the list of the best family-friendly dogs in the world, the Beagle has an incredible nose that lets them sniff out just about anything. Born detectives, they’re not the most trainable pets, but they are smart. And hey, nobody ever accused Snoopy of being dumb.
3. Golden Retriever
A popular choice for assistance dogs for their easy temperament, natural intelligence and loyalty, Golden Retrievers are natural guides and also serve as great rescue dogs. Active and fun to be around, they’re wonderful family pets.
4. Border Collie

Border Collies are considered by many to be the geniuses of the dog world. Expert herders, laser-focused (they’re known for their intense stare), and incredibly agile to boot, they’re workaholics and excellent athletes. Just don’t expect to keep one cooped up in an apartment.
5. Poodle
Did you know poodles were originally hunting dogs? They respond very well to training and are quick to learn tricks. So don’t let the fluffy looks and styled mane fool you! These dogs are among the smart canines around. Plus, they’re among the best dogs in the world for those who suffer allergies.
6. Belgian Malinois
A terrific military dog, the Malinois is a natural herder, tracker and worker. Smart, trainable and protective, these dogs require an owner who knows what he or she is doing. In addition to the military, Malinois are often recruited as guard dogs and police dogs as well.
7. Papillon

Named for their butterfly-shaped ears, papillons are small, cute and pretty smart. They’re considered the smartest of the toy dog breed, with intelligence levels comparable to the über-smart border collie. They’re alert and focused pets, and loyal and lovable: an ideal friend for he family.
8. Doberman
Sadly, Dobermans are known more for their ferocity than their smarts, but these are considered among the most intelligent dogs in the world, as well as one of the most effective guard dogs around. They’re outstanding students known to be affectionate and obedient.
9. Bloodhound

Don’t let the wrinkles and dopey expression fool you! Bloodhounds have the keenest of noses, and are often used for trailing (so much so that their evidence can be used in court against you!). These are loving but strong-willed dogs, and are often used on search and rescue missions.
10. Australian Cattle Dog
Wikimedia Commons
You need a smart, determined and energetic dog to control unruly cows. And that’s just what the Australian Cattle Dog, or ACD, does. They’re intelligent enough to herd these much larger creatures, and while they need their independence and wide open spaces, they’re eager workers who know how to get the job done.
