Thank goodness to the rescuers. Hopefully the "owner" never gets that dog back.

But Kristi Noem would 🤬The actions of this rescuer provide a powerful counterpoint to her rank inhumanity and proof that humans are eminently capable of great compassion and selflessness to animals to whom we owe a duty of compassionate care. I thank him profoundly for his Herculean efforts which strongly reaffirms this principle 👏🏼👏🏼

I'm crying, too.

Where is this? It doesn't sound like the rescuers are speaking English.
