The rescue mission was all caught on camera. The intense footage is going viral all across the internet. [caption id="attachment_41815" align="alignnone" width="750"] credit: youtube.com[/caption] [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] The story started to unfold when someone dropped off their dog in the middle of nowhere without any food or water. A Good Samaritan had noticed this dog living behind a gas station building and immediately called Hope For Paws.

The rescue team went right to work when they got there. First, they tried to block the dog on a gravel path beside the building, but the dog escaped and took off.

However, Loreta, the woman with them was able to get close. The team knew Loreta would have to be the one to save Gershwin.

Loreta sat down in the grass and waited patiently for the pup would get used to her. As soon as Loreta felt comfortable, she quietly reached over and caught him with the rescue leash.

But Loreta refused to let go. After some coaxing, Loretta and the other rescuer finally got Gershwin to calm down.

After the rescue was complete, Gershwin hopped right into the rescue vehicle. A few on-lookers thought that the dog might have been there for at least 2 months without food or water.

Thankfully, his treatment was a success and now he is completely recovered and healthy. But, he still needs a forever home.

What an amazing story! I'm so grateful that the rescue team never gave up on this guy, even when it was tough. Praise the Lord that Gershwin is alright.
