this dog cranberry, in a trash bag wrapped up completely tied in that trash bag at the time. wrapped in the sheet. managed to get the dog's head out, and she calls immediately. she did the right thing. she called the pennsylvania spca, they sent two humane officers over to this scene, they rescued that dog, and rushed the dog to the pennsylvania spca hospital. she was able to stand. they are feeding her now. and through this incredible ordeal, she is still wagging her tail and she's just doing really well, considering the circumstances, they got her in a sweater. they are keeping her warm. they are doing all of the things that they need to do. >> just to show you how resilient dogs can be. >> and also how cruel some people can be and how helpful others can be. >> right. >> couple other things i want to point out that the pennsylvania spca 100 percent donor funded. all of the work of the humane officers and hospital staff that comes from you, and thank
