Couple Rescue Dog From The Street On A Snowy Day

Constance Kratky from Las Vegas, Nevada, has narrated how she and her fiance rescued a dog on a cold, snowy day. The couple was running an errand when they encountered a large adult Irish Setter in the middle of the street.  

Constance didn't grow up around pets, so she had no idea what to do. Fortunately, Frank grew up with dogs and stepped up to the occasion.

"He immediately put the car into park, opened the driver door, and slowly walked toward the dog ten feet ahead of him, all the while speaking softly and slowly as if this stranger were an old friend," Constance said.

Frank gently picked up the dog, carried her back to the car, and wrapped her with blankets. Surprisingly, the dog didn't resist. Instead, she sat quietly in the backseat and watched with sadness in her eyes.

The couple took to the dog, later named Kelly, to the vet for medical attention. At the vet, they learned Kelly was a 1-year-old spayed female Irish Setter without an identity chip or collar ID tag. Aside from putting out fliers in the neighborhood, there was little they could do to find her family. So they took her in.

Initially, Kelly was apprehensive, but she relaxed in her new home with time. The next 15 years saw Kelly become a constant, protective companion in the couple's life.
