A family from Co Tyrone saved a puppy's life after finding it clinging to a tree on the banks of a canal last week. Louise and Michael McCullough, while out for their daily walk, heard cries coming from the water and discovered a tiny, freezing, and exhausted beagle puppy. The Mid Ulster Rehoming Centre for Dogs issued an appeal to find the owner, but no one came forward. Thankfully, the McCullough family returned to the rehoming centre to give the puppy a forever home.
A family from Co Tyrone saved a puppy's life when they found it clinging to a tree on the banks of a canal last week - and have now given it a forever home.
Manager of the Mid Ulster Rehoming Centre for Dogs, Colleen Cunningham, told Belfast Live: "The family were out for a walk the day after Boxing Day along Coalisland Canal and they heard this crying. They didn't know what it was, if it was a bird or a child. "He got in through the trees and saw this wee thing clinging onto the riverbank, basically in the cold water just freezing cold, and he fished him out."
"They said the dog must have wandered off and fallen into the canal, but there's no way a puppy would have wandered that far and fallen into the river, so I would say somebody dumped him in. Or else somebody put him on the bank and he fell in as he's so tiny." "The wee boy is happy as larry now that he gets to bring him home. They were up today and the pup is away home wrapped up in blankets."
