When Malissa Sergent Lewis woke up on August 25, she didn’t realise this would be a day different to any other.
She was driving down the same quiet road she cruises along every day to get to work, but this time, the Harlan, Kentucky local noticed something a little peculiar: a black garbage bag, tied up from the top. And it appeared to be moving.
Pulling over for closer examination, she walked up to the wriggling black bag, phone in hand in a bid to capture what was in it on video. Before long, Lewis tore the bag open to find a small, sweet black-and-white puppy.
Shocking is an understatement.
‘I could hardly wrap my mind around that. Something was alive in that bag, and I just knew I had to get whatever it was out,” she recalls.
While it seems like the puppy had been abandoned in the most cruel way possible, some believe that, considering this dog was wearing a collar and appeared to be well looked after, he could have been stolen.
For now, this loveable pooch is living with the Lewis family, who, have promised they will love and look after him.
A promise someone else couldn’t keep…
