Emma Ackerman

In the Philippines, a group of people were on a walk when they suddenly came across a strange sight: a plastic box on the side of the road. This box had been cut, taped, and even had some chicken wire on it. Naturally, they got closer to investigate, and through the wire, they saw a face.

She was incredibly thin, with lots of fur missing. It was clear she needed help urgently. The group opened the box and was shocked to realize that she was a dog, though she barely resembled one.

In a hurry, Jerry, a kind-hearted woman from the walking group, dialed up the Animal Kingdom Foundation to alert them about the distressed canine. She assured them that she'd look after the dog until a professional arrived to rescue it.
