Dog Rescue Stories: Lily Bug Was Found In A Trash Can

This is Lily Bug — we call her “Lil” for short. This bundle of joy came into my life eight years ago. She was found inside of a box that was placed into a trash can. I’m not sure what type of person it takes to do something so horrific to an innocent, precious little life and I hope to never find out. She’s been such a blessing to have in my life and I only hope to be the same to her. I’ll never be able to describe the love of a rescue, but it’s something I’m fortunate enough to experience every day!
