Stranger Saves Paralyzed Dog Found Trapped in a Ravine after Fireworks Scared Him

It never gets old to see a random act of kindness. Check out this incredible rescue! A stranger saves a paralyzed dog found trapped in a ravine after fireworks scared him.

In this news report, we see a young mom standing in her driveway, ready to help find a lost pet. A reporter is standing there next to Amelia Brettenbach. This stranger saves a paralyzed dog. The drone is utilized by Amelia to help discover missing animals with AI, night vision, and to see from angles that are challenging. 

There is then a portion from a social media post that reads about the thankfulness of the owner of Gandalf the dog. This German Shepherd is paralyzed in his hind legs. During the Fourth of July fireworks, Gandalf escaped in fear and went missing. Amelia stepped in to help with her drone. The mother of three children shares how she saw some heat spots on the drone camera, but could not tell what it was until they looked to discover Gandalf the dog. The sweet pup was found hiding in the leaves on the ground, afraid. 

Amelia Explains Her Volunteer Outreach

Amelia goes on to share how she does this for hundreds of people for free. This is her volunteer outreach to help others. Some families donate batteries for her drone. She is even called upon by the police and local rescue teams. They go on to recap a time when cows were lost on the interstate. Amelia kept a close eye on the cows. Another time, there was a carjacking with a dog named Lucky. She drove all the way to North Carolina from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to help find the dog. This is a woman on a mission, and she is helping so many be reunited with their precious pets. 

As you witness this stranger saving a paralyzed dog, be encouraged. Scripture tells us to care for the earth and have dominion over the animals within it. God has gifted Amelia with the ability to care for animals and ultimately their owners in a unique way. May this video inspire you to use your time and skills to bless others, too.
