The dog signaled to Revilla right away that he wanted her to follow him. And he did, climbing a mountain all the way to the summit. Revilla was directed by the dog to a landfill. He was stunned when he glanced down and saw a little newborn baby wrapped in a brown towel. The youngster was left behind!


The local news story quickly gained attention from volunteers for Hope For Strays, who were moved by the brave dog’s actions in rescuing the abandoned infant. They dispatched a team of searchers to the area to see if they could locate the dog. They did, too. They did not imagine the dog, Blacky, to be anything other than a stray, though. He did, in fact, reside with a loving family. Even three more dogs were owned by their household.

The rescuers couldn’t help but observe that Blacky’s family could use some help even though it was obvious that Blacky was very much loved. The rescuers were motivated to organize a neighborhood effort, as a consequence of which Blacky’s family received much-needed food contributions and pet supplies.
