TROY, NY -- Troy police said a heroic dog rescued a trapped cat on Thursday. According to an official press release, a woman walking her dog heard a cat in a pile of trash. The trash had been set out for collection in the alley between 109th and 110th streets, and Third and Fourth avenues. Investigating sounds of distress, the dog sniffed out a baby kitten sealed inside a cardboard box (pictured above).
Troy Animal Control was contacted and the terrified kitten, which is 8 to 10 weeks old, was taken to the Troy Veterinary Hospital at 840 Hoosick Road. The kitten suffered from hunger and exposure, but is expected to fully recover and will be kept at the facility while the investigation continues.
Troy Police detectives are conducting a criminal investigation into this act of cruelty and ask anyone with information to call them. If you know anything, please help them out.
