For Donovan “Donnie’ Justice, shame is not something he feels being homeless because he believes God gives everyone a purpose. Living under a bridge on the Tuscarawas River in Barberton, Ohio, Donnie may have helped to fulfill some of the purpose on Monday.
A passing motorist tossed a bag into the river and it didn’t take a thought for Donnie to rescue the bag when he say it moving and heard squealing coming from it. Ripping the bag open, he found five newborn black puppies that had been cruelly abandoned to death.
Donnie dried the puppies of and took them to a couple of families who had befriended him to care for. Sadly, one of the babies died but the other four are being cared for and will be turned over to an Akron animal shelter for adoption when they are old enough.
Barberton residents like Debbie Smith are praising Justice. “He’s very human, he loves nature because I don’t think just anybody would have jumped in there and saved the puppies, a lot of them would have just left them,” explained Smith.
They always say God works in mysterious ways, perhaps he placed Donnie there to save those innocent lives. Now hopefully he will point investigators in the direction of the waste of human life who so callously threw it away.
“My heart feels good because I know I did a good thing, I did a good deed,” Justice said.
Kudos and great thanks Donnie!!
(((Hugs))) Thank you Donnie!~
God Bless you Donnie. You have more riches then the wealthiest person on earth. You have a kind heart and a brave soul. You are a rich man. Thanks for saving the puppies. If you are ever in Indiana stop by to say hello.
it just goes to show it don’t take money to do the rigth thing we need more people like him thanks Donnie
Thank god for Donny Justice! I hope they can catch who ever did that cruel thing to those darling little puppies. Mean people make me sick!
GOD BLESS YOU DONNIE. YOU ARE TRUELY THE RICHEST MAN ALIVE.I KNOW GOD HAS US EACH HERE FOR A PURPOSE & PUT US WHERE WE ARE TO FULFILL THAT PURPOSE. YOU ARE A REAL MAN AMONG MEN. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL AWARD YOU WITH A SPECIAL DINNER AT A NICE RESTARAUNT. GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE RESERVERED FOR YOU IN HEAVEN MY FRIEND.
As sad as it is that this kind of a horrible thing even takes place and that one of the puppies didn’t make it, the story still makes you feel like something good came out of it. You gotta really feel something for a guy like Donnie, who compared to so many, has so little, but is he whining and complaining… nope. He’s thankful for what he has and gives of himself and in this case he saved 4 tiny lives. He is the stuff that real heroes are made from!
I think anyone that just throws away a dog of any age or a puppy should be taken to court and done the same as someone that murders or rapes someone. If they don’t want them then take them to a vet or try to give them to someone that would love and care for them there is always someone out there with a big heart.
