Cyclists Rescue Dog Trapped In Dangerous Spot Under A Bridge

Every Monday night, a group of cyclists under the name "Smash Bros Plus One" cycles through Fort Worth, Texas. Their plans are usually consistent, but occasionally they go on a spontaneous adventure. One particular bike ride ended up saving the life of a dog.

The Rescue Mission

On this day, they embarked on a 130-kilometer bike ride to Dallas and back. As the cyclists traveled their route, they came across a woman in distress. She tried to wave them down, desperate for their help. Curious, they stopped to listen to her request. She pointed to a concrete support beam under a bridge, where a Pit Bull mix had become stuck, unable to move.

Mo's desperation

The sight of the stranded dog, whom they later named Mo, was heartbreaking. She was sitting on the beam, 15 to 20 meters above the ground, and there was no way she could climb up or down. The cyclists immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation and were determined to rescue her. Abbey Robinson, the only woman in the group, described Mo's face as desperate.

Determination of cyclists

Without hesitation, the cyclists decided to take action. They knew they were Mo's only hope and began brainstorming ways to save her. Their compassion and determination were unwavering.

Handyman's ladder

As they pondered the best way to reach Mo, fate intervened. A kind-hearted handyman happened to have a ladder in his vehicle. This ladder would prove to be the key to Mo's rescue. Chris Williamson, one of the cyclists, bravely descended the ladder to approach the frightened dog.

Saving Mo

Williamson sat next to Mo for about 15 minutes and spoke gently to her to gain her trust. With patience and kindness, he managed to make Mo feel safe. Once she was at ease, Williamson gently picked her up and handed her to the cyclists waiting above her. They held her in their arms like a precious baby, and Mo's relief was visible in her eyes.

Mo's condition

After her rescue, it became clear that Mo not only needed to be rescued but also cared for. She was thirsty and hungry, a clear indication of her suffering. It was suspected that she had recently given birth to puppies, which added to the urgency of her rescue.

Animal Rescue and Saving Hope Rescue

Animal control was called to the scene to check if Mo had a chip, but it was not found. Since local shelters were already overcrowded, the cyclists decided to contact Saving Hope Rescue, a decision that would change Mo's life.

Mo's new name and life

In honor of a professional biker who was tragically killed in May 2022, bikers named the rescued Pit Bull Moriah Wilson. They affectionately call her "Moriah" or "Mo" for short. With the help of Saving Hope Rescue, Mo found a loving adoptive family and began her journey to recovery. The rescuers visited her, relieved that she was doing well.

This heartwarming story of Mo's rescue illustrates the incredible impact of everyday heroes who take action to help those in need. It highlights the compassion, empathy and determination of people who, during an ordinary cycling adventure, became extraordinary rescuers. Mo's story is a testament to the power of kindness and collective efforts to make the world a better place.
