When garbage collector Nathan Binnie opened a trash can on October 30 in New Stanton, Pa., he was shocked by what he found inside.
Nestled in a black bag amidst the trash was a young dog, her face poking out of the plastic bag. Upon further inspection, Binnie found that the dog was emaciated and starving — having possibly been in the garbage can for three days without food or water. "(She was) very skinny, you know, I mean you (could see) every bone ... (she) was shivering and shaking," Binnie told WTAE Pittsburgh. "It was just horrific." Binnie called his dispatcher and gave the little pup his lunch while they waited for help to arrive.
