When Amanda heard about a lost,
lonely dog at Evans Creek campground in Washington state, she and her
friend Dylan decided to do the unthinkable.
The two girls — now being hailed heroes — posted photos illustrating
the great lengths they went to in order to rescue the frightened,
emaciated dog known as “Bear,” who wouldn't let any humans get close.
For an hour, Amanda and Dylan tried to lure the dog with food, but it
didn't work. The next day when they went back, the dog was in the same
spot. Again, they tried to coax him with food, but to no avail. That’s
when they got creative. Very creative.
Pretending she was injured and in need of help, Amanda laid down in
fetal position on the gravel and started crawling backward toward the
dog. In fact, she spent the next hour slowly inching closer and closer
to Bear. When he voiced his discomfort, she’d start whimpering and
yawning, which is a calming signal, and continued to inch closer until
she rested directly on his side!
For two hours, Amanda and Bear cuddled, until he finally let her slip a lead around his neck. Bear was finally safe. Like the police officer who got out of his car and comforted two dogs wandering on the side of the highway, there are good people in the world.
Bear is on the road to recovery thanks to these two incredible
heroes. Because of his eventual friendliness, they think he got lost
from his family. They’re trying to find the dog’s owners, but if no
one claims him, a local rescue group will help find him a loving home.
