There are real heroes. They are ordinary people who decided without hesitation to help those in need. While Mo, the pit bull, waits for the hero, he gets trapped in the concrete beams of the bridge. Time passed, but he never lost hope that he would eventually be saved. Let’s follow his story and rescue mission.
There is immediate danger
the dog was left on the bridge
Every Monday, the Smash Bros Plus One bikers go for a ride around Fort North, Texas. On May 21, 2022, they were on their way to Dallas.
Thirty minutes later, as they approached the bridge, they saw a woman. He motioned for them to stop. He went on to say that he had a dog that needed help. The cyclists immediately stopped, dismounted and followed the woman. What they witnessed left them deeply shocked and saddened. On a bridge support 4 to 6 meters above the ground, they saw a covered pit bull. They were sure someone had left it there.
“There’s no way she could have gotten there herself and there’s no way she could have gotten out herself. The look on her face was despair,” said Abby Robinson, the only woman in the cycling group.
The dog wasn’t moving at all. She would sometimes lift her gaze toward the cyclists. Her brown eyes were filled with fear and despair. It seemed as if she was letting them know that she was putting all her trust in them.
The cyclists were well-aware that they were her only hope and they continued brainstorming the best way to help her.
At the same time, they were waving down other drivers. One of the drivers who stopped was a handyman. Luckily, he had a ladder that the cyclists needed.
A Sigh Of Relief
One of the cyclists, Chris Williamson, descended the ladder and sat next to the dog. He talked to her and even laid next to her to show her that he was a friend. He succeeded in winning her over, and she became relaxed and decided to trust him.
Williamson took her in his arms and handed her to the people above him.
The other cyclists were relieved to cradle her and they sat with her.
As soon as she was lifted to safety, the pooch felt completely relaxed. These humans didn’t let her down. Just by looking at her loving eyes, her rescuers could see how grateful and appreciative she was.
She was thirsty and hungry. Nobody knew how much time she spent waiting for help. Robinson said that the pooch probably had babies recently.
Animal Control was called to the site. After they scanned her, they found out that she didn’t have a microchip. Since the cyclists knew that shelters were overcrowded, they called Saving Hope Rescue, and they took her.
The cyclists named her Moriah Wilson in honor of the professional biker who was murdered in May 2022.
Soon, the rescue found a foster family for Mo. Her rescuers visited her and were glad to see that she was doing well.
We’re very grateful to all the people who participated in rescuing her that day. You are our heroes. We’re sure that Mo stole the hearts of her forever family as soon as they saw her gentle brown eyes.
