Man Finds Seven Abandoned Puppies On An Uninhabited Island

Junior Cook was scuba diving off the coast of a small Canadian island near Cross Keys, Manitoba, unaware that he would be a part of a miraculous rescue. He and his companion noticed a series of unusual noises emanating from the little island, which was supposed to be deserted, while boating.

They didn’t pay much attention to what transpired because they thought the island had been abandoned, but Junior’s concern lingered, and he determined to return the next day.

Junior was concerned about the occurrence and suspected the sounds were the screams of someone in distress, so he decided to explore further.

Junior couldn’t believe his eyes when he got at the location; there were seven abandoned pups whimpering and roaming about the island in agony.

The man wanted to assist them and couldn’t leave them there, so he contacted Manitoba Animal Alliance, a local group committed to rescuing animals and transferring them to local shelters or from other locations in search of a permanent home.

Fortunately for the puppies, this group agreed to assist in the rescue and was prepared to put their whole experience to use in order to save them.

On Facebook, the organization wrote:

“This is not an unusual occurrence; it occurs on a daily basis in Manitoba and throughout the world.”

Junior and his companion initially assumed the noises were coming from wolves, but thankfully, he decided to return to the island to investigate.

The head of the rescue facility, Deb Vandekerkhove, told the CBC:

“He and his companion were out and about when they heard some noises on the island, and it was already becoming dark. They got out their binoculars, but all they saw were black shadows and a lot of sobbing. They initially mistook them for wolves.”

Although the organization was eager to assist in a timely manner, arranging transportation for this specific situation proved to be more difficult than anticipated. As a result, they agreed to give food packages to the dogs to keep them fed for the following several days while they worked out a plan to remove them off the island.
