East Grand Rapids, Michigan – People are rallying around an ailing dog who collapsed on a roadway in East Grand Rapids. Four days ago, Emilee Bond made a public Facebook post about the situation, writing:
This morning the starved/emaciated dog in these photos was spotted by my husband and a few other neighbors on Lakeside, where she had crawled out of the woods and collapsed in the middle of busy morning traffic, too exhausted to make it across the street. Concerned neighbors stopped traffic and kept her safe and were eventually able to get her to the sidewalk.
A woman named Rachel, with the city of East Grand Rapids, stepped up to get the ailing dog to Cascade Animal Hospital, and Emilee started a fundraiser to help cover veterinary expenses.
Nearly $20,000 has been donated by people hoping to see the dog, dubbed Hope, recover. According to the veterinarian who examined Hope, it appears that she was a “breeding dog” who had multiple litters and was then discarded.
With good care and the support of strangers, hopefully, Hope will recover and be able to enjoy the rest of her life.
