When a Redlands, California, school teacher saw someone throw a dog out of their car near her school, she called a friend who knew just who could help: Eldad Hagar of Hope for Paws. By now, Eldad needs no introduction, as his videos have been moving us and thrilling us for a couple years now.

In this video, he doesn’t have his trap, so he has to improvise. Parker is quite wary, but the cheeseburger is just too tempting. Eldad’s ability to improvise in these rescues is astonishing, as is his ability to calm a panicking dog. After the rescue, Parker was taken to BARC and then to a foster home. Hopefully, he’ll soon be in a forever home, to complete the transformation of his life.
