His actions were humane and heroic. There is no excuse for dumping puppies. Especially in today's age when we or other shelters would be willing to get these animals to foster parents or rescue partners. This was a shameful act." 12-Week-Old Puppy 'Latte' Rescued After Being Picked Up By An Owl From His Foster Human's Backyard!
