Minnesota Mechanic Opens Dumpster Backpack And Finds Something Heartbreaking Inside

Despite laws that punish animal abuse with felony penalties in nearly every state, cruelty toward animals remains a troubling problem in the U.S. In many cases, there is a disturbing link between animal abuse, child abuse, and family violence.

Studies show that abuse occurs in roughly 88% of households already under supervision for child abuse. This suggests that cruelty stems from the abuser’s character, not the victim’s identity.

One heartbreaking case of neglect took place in Shakopee, Minnesota, where an 11-week-old puppy was discovered inside a backpack that had been tossed into a dumpster behind an auto shop. By pure luck and the curiosity of a mechanic, the puppy was saved in time.
