Petey was initially discovered by a Good Samaritan as he was hiding behind a tree. The terrified dog was by himself in a peaceful place with few other people around.

In an effort to track down the dog’s owners, the woman shared a picture of the dog on social media taken from a distance so as not to frighten him more. But instead of looking for his parents, the woman sought someone to assist in saving him.

When Suzette Hall, the founder of Logan’s Legacy rescue, first saw pictures of Petey laying under a giant tree, the first thing that occurred to her was how small he was. Then, she thought of the alarming amount of coyotes in the area and immediately started a race to rescue him.

“When I got there, he was sitting under the tree and looking out at the road,” Hall told The Dodo. “It seemed like he was looking for his person.”

Hall attempted to approach the dog, but he swiftly retreated to an area of the field that was unreachable. Then, as the sun began to drop, Hall’s worst worries came true.

Coyotes’ luminous eyes could be seen in the next field, claimed Hall. “They were all around us.”

Time was of the essence, and Hall had to act swiftly. She placed two traps on opposite ends of the field, then went in search of a spot to hide so she could observe the dog covertly.

The dog soon began to circle the traps in an attempt to find the rewards inside. He entered after a little while and was at last secure.

“I was so happy when I heard my trap shut,” Hall said. “If he had gone back out again, who knows what would’ve happened?”

Once he was in the trap, Hall put the dog in her van and gave him food. He instantly scarfed down the kibble, then settled down for a nap.

By this point, it was too late to go to the vet, so Hall decided to sleep in her van with the pup — whom she named Petey — until the clinic opened in the morning. She knew that Petey was lonely, but she was shocked by how quickly he warmed up to her.

“We slept in my car together that night, and he was so cuddly,” Hall said. “He was a total lovebug.”

Luckily, Petey was in great health when Hall rescued him despite having to fend for himself outside. When he got to the vet clinic, he only needed a round of vaccines and a thorough bath. Then, he was ready to be placed in foster care.

Petey is currently still in foster care, where enjoys cuddling with his foster mom and his new foster dog siblings. Although he’s still waiting for a forever home, his current caregiver is absolutely in love with him.

“His foster mom says that he’s such a doll,” Hall said. “And he totally loves her, too.”
