Leslie Ysuhuaylas was making a routine visit to an abandoned pet dump in Dallas, Texas and there she found an injured dog, dying of cold, motionless and silent inside a box, seemed to have no hope of living, the woman at first did not He realized that he was not entirely alone, there was Betty and this loyal dog was accompanying him for several days.

The dog was named Benny and he is about 2 years old, the woman decided to help him along with volunteers from The Underdog Project organization .

Ysuhuaylas told The Dodo:

“I realized that he could barely move his body. All he did was lift his head a little. They had completely abandoned him.

The volunteers of the organization managed to get him into the car to transport him to a veterinary center, at that moment they realized that he had a serious wound on his leg, the bone could be seen, he had to be quickly treated.

Meanwhile, Ysuhuaylas noticed Betty’s presence in that place, she had been there watching her friend. Betty is a chocolate-colored Labrador about one year old.

“He observed everything from afar, he did not leave the area, he only looked at his friend.”

20 minutes after they rescued Benny, the volunteers returned for Betty.

Once they were both safe, the woman contacted the  Rescue Dogs Rock NYC  (RDRNYC) organization, which of course decided to help both dogs.

The organization’s staff wrote on their Facebook page:

Our hearts broke thinking of Benny, day after day, night after night freezing in the cold, in the pain, living in that box. Benny needs all of our positive thoughts and prayers.

Benny was very unwell under veterinary observation, but is now being cared for in a foster home. The dog underwent blood tests and X-rays, the reason for the swelling of its head is unknown.

This dog is very sweet, friendly and affectionate.

Ysuhuaylas said:

“Benny is still friendly, loving, loves toys, and doesn’t mind being touched and cleaned. He is a normal dog.

Stacey Silverstein, RDRNYC Co-Founder said:

“We plan to get Benny and Betty to New York as soon as they are able to travel so that they can be adopted.”

Betty has been very scared and that is why the rescue teams consider that it is not advisable for her to travel yet, meanwhile,  this pair of friends need to receive a lot of positive energy and love.
