In July 2023 many people contacted Stray Rescue of St Louis informing them that there was a stray dog on the side of a highway
After one of the callers gave the rescue the exact mile marker of the highway the rescue staff knew where the dog was
Knowing that the frightened dog could run away at any moment Donna Lochmann immediately went to save the pup
As soon as she came to the exact spot that the caller mentioned she saw a frightened dog lying in the grass Lochmann felt brokenhearted after she saw how emaciated and tired she looked
The rescuer didnt want to scare the pup even more so she slowly made her way down the slope The pooch looked at her with a sad expression on her face
While she talked to the pup in a gentle and soothing manner Lochmann gave her some treats to win her trust

The pup later named Miley Marker let her rescuer put a leash around her neck As she tried to stand up her weak legs wobbled and she gave up
Lochmann was deeply saddened to see that Miley didnt have the strength to get up
Just when she got closer to Miley to take her in her arms the pup gave her a big kiss and melted her heart
While Lochmann was carrying her up a steep hill to her car the sweet pooch kept kissing her
It was her way of thanking her rescuer for saving her life and treating her with so much care and affection
