Donna, an experienced animal rescuer, recently rescued a pit bull from a dangerous situation on the highway.

While driving on the highway, she saw a pit bull and she knew she couldn't just drive on.

She stopped, approached the dog and discovered her lying at the foot of a hill.

The condition of this pit bull was heartbreaking and it was clear she had been lying there for some time.

Donna immediately stopped her car and hurried to see if the dog was all right.

She was surprised that no one else had stopped to help the poor dog.

She wondered how it was possible that other people had not seen the dog and decided to take matters into her own hands.

Gaining trust

The pit bull, probably traumatized, hesitated to move.

Donna tried to encourage her and even playfully asked if she wanted a ride.

The dog's response was a soft wag, a universal sign of joy.

Moving the dog, however, was not as easy as they hoped.

The pit bull, possibly exhausted or scared, did not seem to want to run.

Not discouraged, the woman, driven by her determination and compassion, decided to carry the dog herself.
