Dog Rescued From 40 Tons of Waste
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. - A dog from Middlesex County is probably feeling like a lucky pooch — though she smelled like trash, after being rescued from among 40 tons of household waste in the back of a garbage trailer. The 5-year-old shepherd mix arrived at the landfill among a load of garbage from the Perth Amboy Waste Transfer Station, where garbage trucks dump household trash into a pit. The garbage is packed into trailers and trucked to the landfill, officials said. A landfill worker who found the dog described seeing it in 5 feet of garbage at the back edge of the truck and moments from being dropped 7 feet into the dump. "She was hanging on for dear life," said East Brunswick Patrolman David W. Blumig, of the township's Animal Control Division. Blumig said he lassoed the dog and checked her for injuries. Finding none, he drove the dog to Blumig Kennel, run by his sister. The pooch is leery of people, but she has taken to one resident of the kennel: a one-eyed pit bull. Anyone with information about the dog can call the kennel at (732) 251-3210, or the East Brunswick Police Department at (732) 390-6900.My Sardonic Thoughts
- Leery of people? wouldn't you be if you were thrown in the trash?
- Call the kennel, they might not bust you as quickly as the police for throwing your dog in the trash.
- Yeah, if you dumped your dog in the trash, and want him back...
