Here at LifeDaily, we love praising and thanking the heroes who go above and beyond to help animals in need.
Yet of all the amazing organizations and individuals out there doing their part to help, nothing compares to the work and example that Humane Society of the United States does for our country.
Just before Christmas, HSUS answered the call from a local shelter about animals in need, and they set out for rural Adams County, Ohio.
There, they found a true nightmare, far worse from what they had imagined. More than 160 dogs and cats were suffering from sickness, neglect and abuse.

On the HSUS website, Ohio state director Corey Roscoe said, “These dogs and cats were in a terrible situation – the owner had too many animals and was unable to provide adequate care.”
One can only imagine what it was like to walk into such a heartbreaking place, especially once they noticed a dog who seemed different from the rest.

On YouTube, HSUS wrote “Among the sick and injured dogs was a big, boisterous chocolate lab who was chained near the front of the property. His chain had become tangled in the rotting deer carcass that served as his only food source.”
“As protocol, we scanned all 166 dogs and cats for a microchip and discovered that this lab had a name—Chuckie—and a family in Indiana who had been missing him for more than 5 years.”

Since 2010, Chuckie’s family believed their beloved dog was long gone, but thanks to these brave, selfless heroes the dog made his way home just in time for the holidays.
