Last week UPS driver, Dan Vincent, was on his usual run, delivering packages in the Waterbury, CT area when he came across something he’d never seen before and I’m sure, never hopes to see again. At first he wasn’t even sure what it was but taking the time to look a little closer he found a tiny little dog, a chihuahua, tied with a shoestring to a sewage grate.
The little guy was in pretty rough shape and could have been in much worse shape if Dan hadn’t taken the time to stop and rescue him. Dan took him to the first place he could think of, HOPE Clinic, who took the little dog in and pretty quickly stole hearts.
With some care and TLC, is wasn’t long before he was doing a bit better but he still has a ways to go and will always be a bit of a special needs dog. Because of his penchant for stealing hearts, he’s been named Romeo.
Once Romeo is recovered, he’ll be up for adoption to someone as special as he is because he’ll need a bit of extra care.
Thanks Dan for taking the time to care! There’s not enough good Samaritans out there and it’s always nice to be able to share the story about someone who goes the extra distance. Good luck Romeo, I’m sure you’ll be stealing more hearts before long and have a wonderful home to call your own!!
Be nice to know who abandoned this poor baby to such a cruel fate, like to see that they get what they deserve too!

Thank you Dan Mr UPS for taking the time to save Romeo he looks to be sweet heart. I wish people wouldn’t do this to aminals that they would take the time to help save them and get them a good home. In my front yard there;s a sign that says “Dog Welcome” sorry humans are not there is lots of love and food and warm place to sleep my heart is open to them….

So good of you Dan…and all those who help these creatures everyday!
Dan Vincent, one of the good guys. Good health and happiness to you and yours!
What else is new, just another human waste that did that to a helpless little dog, a little dog that could never defend itself against a sick sob like that. he looks so cute, well behaved for sure, i dont get it, why not just turn the dog into the police, whatever. Well i hope romeo finds his juliet somewhere, his foreever home. pair of red shoes going out to romeo hope they take him home someday soon without even cliking his paws together. that ups driver is cute, off track but oh well. I sponsor animals in various places and it pays to find out what your local places need for the animals.
Wishing you so many of God’s blessings be given to you Dan. This type of horror towards our innocent animals has become the most heinous acts of terror and horror we have ever seen. Throwing these poor dogs out of car or truck windows while on the highway in tremendous traffic, throwing them off bridges, setting them on fire and laughing as they scream in agony, etc. The list is never ending. It is of utmost importance for all people to be vigilant and completely alert when driving anticipating the possibility that they will be driving behind or next to the worst type of the human race, an animal terrorist who will commit this ultimate act of inhumanity and horror. As an animal rescuer, I cannot stress the seriousness of these acts of complete evil that are occurring on our streets against our innocent animals. Please, if you ever see something that does not look quite right or your instincts are telling you something, please follow your instincts and go back to the place where you felt something was wrong. If everything is fine, say a prayer of thanks but if something is wrong and you find an animal in distress, please either call the police immediately or use extreme caution as a injured animal may bite at you because of their pain and get the animal to any veterinary hospital so they get the emergency treatment they need to save their lives. There are not enough words to tell you the joy you will feel by stepping up to the plate and showing your true humanity to an animal who will surely die a horrible death without your help. These animals are forever grateful to the person who showed them so much love and compassion even though they had never met before. Dan and his compassion and willingness to help the helpless has earned him his angel wings and from this day forth in the animal rescue world, he is now an honored guardian angel for the ones with no voice who count on us to speak out for them. God bless you Dan and all of you who are always willing to show true humanity to the innocent animals who have been thrown away and are now homeless, alone, and abandoned by the evil people who shame the human race.
Thanks Dan for saving Romeo. The Lord will take a close look at you when it is time. You are truly a hero. How could you not look at Romeo’s face and not love him. I am sure he will find a good home.
Thank You Dan!!!! Because of YOU Romeo now has a second chance at life!!!
