Breaking News: dog's owner died, and he was thrown down to the LA river 💔 #dog

Nico had a microchip, so we were able to figure out who his owner was, and we learned that he passed away. We were able to connect with this man's two daughters who didn't care about their father's dog (they didn't even know to tell us his name).

Imagine your dog or cat in a terrible situation like Nico's situation and there is nothing you can do about it because you're already gone, but just looking from above in horror! Writing a will using this system will take 20 minutes of your time, and it will give you the peace of mind you deserve. Thousands of people already created their Will, and I really hope you will do it too.

It is the holiday, so many families are together, so it's a great time to have a conversation about it, make a plan, and then have a legally valid will in writing. I would recommend creating a backup plan as well because people's situations do change, and I am definitely open to having Hope For Paws as a last resort - just email me, and we can definitely talk about it. I just helped a really nice man who just passed away... I will talk about him in a video that is coming up soon.

If you will start the email with "Hello Eldad" it will automatically come into my mailbox 😊

May Johnson glanced out her office window one day and saw Nico down in the L.A. River! Mike Yurchuk filmed the clip at the beginning. May called Dennis Lake to figure out a plan to get help for Nico; May called the Fire Department, and Dennis called Animal Control, but they didn't get the help they hoped for. They saw the dog going into the tunnel (I didn't know that when I went on this rescue), Dennis waited for a long time to see if he comes out, but he didn't. Dennis went back to his office, looked at some satellite images to figure out how to get to the dog.

Animal Control called them back later on in the day and promised to come the next day.

The following morning, Eowyn Mishawn found Hope For Paws on YouTube and she texted me. I called her back at 9:30 A.M., by 10:00 A.M., Katie, Alex, and I were already down in the river. We had to walk about a mile to get to the area, I had a hunch he would be hiding in that tunnel because of the extreme heat, and sure enough, he was there, and so ready to be rescued 😊

Nico was adopted by Dennis' family and it was so cool to visit him the other day, seeing him with a brand new healthy coat, and loving his new life with his new family.

Thank you so much!

Eldad

Whoever threw that dog down there is so fucked up on so many levels. Thank you guys for saving him

[robincampochiaro]

How could family just throw out the owners pup?? Just so horrible, if the owner knew what they did he would be so upset. God bless HFP's for making this pups golden years happy, loved, & a full belly. ❤

That poor, helpless frightened baby. What kind of evil person would do something so evil. I'm glad you guys were able to save this sweet little guy. 💗 Thank you for everything you do for all these beautiful animals. 😍

Can we give Eldad and his crew a shout out for having zero fear of spiders and the other creepy crawlers and critters lurking in the tunnels. This is a team of pure saints.

[kathleenshabaan]

Unbelievable! How could anyone do this ! Bring the animal to the shelter and give them a chance.

[uu]

I'm so glad they rescued the poor dog. The family of the man who passed away is really evil. How could you do that to a pet companion that your father cared for. Also imagine how sad & confused the dog was from losing their human companion & then being abandoned & lonely in a dark place with no food, people or other animals ☹.

The puppy didn't even make a little fight during the rescue, eventhough some human beings betrayed him, he is still so gentle and friendly!!! Tears in my eyes😭 whoever threw him out is absolutely cold-hearted and evil!!! Thanks for Hope For Paws gave him second life👍👍👍He is soooo cute singing with the new owner!!!

1. "Hope For Paws was called in to rescue him."
2. I have a feeling it wasn't Eldad saying, "We got this call. Wanna come with us?"
3. Word got out. Dog was rescued.
4. Dog is safe, warm, and adopted.
How the word gets out is not important as long as it gets out.

Just because you donate does not give you any say on how your donation is used.
It's horrible and sad that these situations happen, referring to the death and tossing of the dog, and many never think of what happens to them when they die. I absolutely love and appreciate all that Eldad and crew do! Also thankful for the ones that call them asking for help as their name is getting known more and more. 🤗💚

He seems like he was waiting to be rescued by Eldad. Great job as usual.

I am Japanese and always watch Hope For Paws' YouTube in Japan.
I also have four shelter cats😺
Thank you for always protecting our animals!
I think it is really a wonderful activity✨
I wish the world was full of kind people like the Hope For Paws staff❤

[rondameier]

How do you hate your fathers companion so much that this was a reasonable and logical way to deal with him??? That they couldn't even be bothered to know his Thank you for taking care of him....

[dorisvega]

Thanks for reaching him. People are so cruel. Glad he is safe.

[CG-kfvh]

After all the crap done to him he still has faith in humans.

[georgesenda]

How could any person do this to a sweet dog ? Thank you for rescuing her.

[lyndavis]

Nico is so precious he was so sad looking sitting in that dark place and he wasn't going to fight because he knew you were there to help him and after he got all cleaned up and shaved he ran right to the woman who got him out of that place he knows she's saved me from that icky place He's such a great singer too his song was beautiful I hope he keeps singing for many years

[voyaristika]

At the first sight of pup after rescue I felt the deceased owner weeping for joy in Heaven to see their baby saved and happy. So, of course I cried, too. Thinking of what I'd like to do to the monster who abandoned this lovebug makes me know I'm not all good. At all. God bless you HFP. I make a donation every month so we can keep "crying for happy."

[nattojelly]

This breaks my heart. I could not imagine the pain this little guy must have felt. And it is so sad that people can throw away a dog someone must have loved until the very end.

[treble]

Putting back-up carers in your will and keeping that list updated is really important. I had 3 homes arranged just in case, and thought I was set. Unfortunately, 2 of them are now no longer able to take on a pet, so I need to find replacements. I also set aside part of my estate to cover future vet bills, food, and toys plus extra for the family in appreciation.

Why would anyone do this to a helpless animal? Thank you Eldad and your team for saving him! This is exactly why I support you and share your videos with everyone I know. 💞
