Echo lake, Texas, has a sad reputation; it is known as aninfamous 'dumping ground'for dog abusers.Judy Obregon, founder of The Abandoned Ones(a foster based animal rescue organization)is all too familiar with the stories that give this location its notoriety, but in March was lucky enough to find a happy ending there.
Source: Facebook/The Abandoned OnesObregon was driving through the area, as she does almost daily, and on this occasion, spotted movement and a tuft of white fur in the distance as she was investigating the area.The fur in the distance quickly revealed herself to be an injured, but enthusiastic dog, limping towards the car, looking for help. She showed no sign of fear after her trauma, and was affectionate with her rescuer straight away.

Luckily, she had no serious injuries or infections, and with lots of love and attention would recover just fine.

Dogs like this make me cry all the time. They are just so forgiving. I can see it in her eyes.

My heart is for the voiceless. Animals can’t speak, so we are all they have.
