A chance meeting with a stray dog led to heartache and happiness.
A 7 Action News crew recently spotted the female stray dog in southwest Detroit while working on a story. It was obvious the dog recently had puppies.
The crew tried to lure the mother dog away with food, but she kept running off and a search nearby for the puppies turned up empty.
Mike Diesel with Detroit Youth and Dog Rescue and dog hero Lori Briggs came to the deserted house a few days later with a trap. Within minutes they were able to catch the female pooch.
Once again, there was no sign of her puppies, until they went inside the dilapidated and dangerous home.
