On Christmas, this big and beautiful shepherd dog was found, frightened and alone, living on the Los Angeles river. Thanks to one amazing man, he was rescued from his life of solitude and starvation.

Eldad seems to do decent work. If I lived in the Los Angeles area, I’d probably support him.
God’s blessings on this wonderful man. How anyone can abuse an animal or neglect them is beyond me.
You could tell this dog knew this man was there to help him. I love Sheppard's!

Many people are trash. Look at the number of abused and neglected children and elderly.
Cool video. It’s nice to see something positive posted.
“Sheppard” = Shepherd
Gotta give the guy credit; I'd have been pretty much frozen stiff half way up that ladder (and and I collected legitimate jump pay for a couple of years).
Another great German shepherd rescue story from Fairbanks, Alaska. Hopefully this one will have a good ending as well.

A big thumbs up to Alaska Airlines who put Thor in cabin instead of cargo on his way to treatment in Sacramento CA.

Great post, thanks!
This is a low-volume list so dont worry!
(Please Freep-mail me if youd like to be on or off the list.)
From the video only: I am guessing the German shepherd was abandoned because of bad hips. When you see him standing with his rear legs close together it is an indication of hip dysplasia.
I’m glad to see there are people like this in the world. Thank goodness for the saving of Biggie.
Does anyone know if he got adopted?
We have a GS and she is such a love.
Thanks for this post, it is a wonderful story.
What kind of lowlife dumps their dog when it develops a health problem?
I love most dogs; people not so much.
According to the video, Biggie is with Coastal GSR but not on its list of available dogs. Usually a situation like this requires a couple of weeks to evaluate how adoptable a dog is.
This was heartwarming.
There have been lots of shepherds begging for adoption in the Los Angeles area lately.
