Woman Sees A Moving Garbage Bag On The Road, Stops Her Car To Save It

Last Thursday, Kentucky-based Malissa Sergent Lewis was running late to work, so she decided to take a shortcut. As she was driving, she noticed something unusual – a moving garbage bag. What Lewis found inside was heartbreaking.

“I saw this trash bag in the road, and I thought to myself, ‘Did I just see that bag move?’ The closer I got, I realized it was moving,” Lewis told The Dodo. “I could hardly wrap my mind around that. Something was alive in that bag, and I just knew I had to get whatever it was out.”

Lewis released what turned out to be an abandoned puppy wearing a collar, but no tag. She took it with her and is still trying to find the owners, but there’s a good chance no one will claim it. Therefore, Lewis and her family decided to give it a forever home themselves. The pup, which they named Hefty, is now healthy, happy, and in good hands.

    Be mature enough to take responsibility and at least contact an animal shelter. If you cannot even do that, stay away from animals.

    People who abuse animals deserve the same things done to them. This is disgusting. Thankfully a happy ending for the poor baby.

    Good to see she saved him! (But am I the only one who thinks it's strange she took her time with the video?) but still: respect for her actions!

    I think I would've been a bit hesitant too to open a moving plastic back without knowing what the animal inside might be... Important thing is that she eventually did look inside :)

    I'd like to stick then in a garbage bag and see how they feel, those cruel, sadistic bastards.

    this is one of my nightmares. i've heard so many stories like this one... trash bags moving, cardboard boxes or garbage bins meowing or barking, this is just insane. congratulation on the woman who actually paid enough attention ...and had a heart.

    All of the above and more. Crying garbage bags. Evil is alive in the world and thriving.

    Why would you try to find the owner? They don't deserve the pup.

    Since the dog had a collar, it might have been stolen from the owner as an act of cruelty against the owner as well.
