- Over the last 20 years, the Love Me Tender animal rescue in central Tennessee has rounded up more than 1,000 abandoned dogs. And although most are timid and untrusting, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports, one Rottweiler named Ella was notably different.
...
Ella was emaciated and drinking from a drainage ditch along an
empty stretch of highway. Kathy says it's typical for people to dump
unwanted pets in the middle of nowhere - but again, the dog's demeanor
convinced her there was more to the story. So she did some detective
work, and what she found is a heart-wrenching tale of unending loyalty.
"She was hoping her family could come back. But they couldn't. They
couldn't come back. It just breaks your heart," said Kathy.
Kathy found the first clues to this mystery - broken glass and tail lights - right near where she found the dog.
And just down from there, she found a second set of even more
intriguing clues: personal items gathered up. By the dog, she assumed.
"It was like she was sleeping with them - or waiting with them," Kathy said.
She took a picture with her cell phone and then gathered the items.
They were mostly random, personal things - toothbrush, comb, razor, a
candle that said Michelle, but nothing that would explain anything -
although now, she did have a hunch.
Kathy remembered two weeks earlier she'd driven by an accident on
the same stretch of highway. She remembered because it was such a
horrible crash. A single car had flipped over and landed on the side of
the road, at just about the same spot where she found the dog.
...
Kathy figured it all out. But fortunately, she got one thing very
wrong. Someone did survive the crash. In face, all five family members
survived.
....
After two weeks believing that their dog, Ella, had died, the
family of Joe and Michelle Kelly got the most wonderful, slobbery
surprise of their lives.
For the first time since the accident, the Kelly's had a good
reason to cry -all thanks to a dog who refused to forget her family -
and the stranger who refused to take lost for answer. | |
