A man saved his dog by rescuing him from an electric cord that was near a highway bridge.
David Friedman saw the dog just before he headed to Independence, Missouri.
“I saw what seemed like a dog that was being hung over the side of some kind of power box. The cord was definitely strangling him,” Fredman told Fox4 KC. “His feet were touching the bottom, but they were barely touching the bottom. He was trying to whip his head left and right but could barely move it.”
Fredman called 911 immediately and grabbed a knife in order to free the dog. He noticed that the dog was struggling to breathe as soon as he had cut the dog off. He couldn’t walk either, but after he settled the dog down he brought him to KC Pet Project.
They found that Max was equipped with a microchip and named him Max. Dee Vaughn has been trying to locate it. Vaughan got a call two hours after reporting that his dog had gone missing. This gave him a sigh, but when he learned what had happened to his 16 year-old dog, he was extremely upset.
It’s unclear how Max got into the predicament. Did Max get hung intentionally or by accident? Vaughn said there’s no way his senior dog could have walked the mile to where he was found.
He said that surveillance cameras could reveal the fate of his dog. Certainly, the electrical cord around Max’s neck points to the suspicious activity. Vaughn claimed that he called police and was told by animal control to contact them. This he intends to do.
But he’s just gratified that Max is home safe because of Fredman. He had an opportunity to thank Fredman face to face and told him, “Thank you, David, so much. You stopped what you were doing to show around and save my dog’s life.”
