Dog Rescued by Police Officer After Being Found with Snout Tied

In Indiana, a heart-wrenching incident unfolded when a Doberman was found wandering near Chippewa Bowl, his mouth cruelly fastened shut with a zip-tie. Concerned citizens attempted to assist the distressed dog before the authorities arrived, but their efforts were in vain. Thankfully, the South Bend Police intervened and swiftly rescued the suffering canine. Moved by the dog’s plight, one particular individual stepped forward to offer him a forever home – the very person who had initially rescued him. This heartwarming turn of events exemplifies the resilience and compassion of both animals and humans. Despite enduring such cruelty, the Doberman’s spirit remained unbroken, and now, he has found solace and love in the arms of his compassionate rescuer.

This story serves as a poignant reminder of the power of empathy and the enduring bond between humans and their animal companions. Police officer Stephanie Northcutt was among those who responded, managing to gain the trust of the Doberman and remained committed to his care during the entire rescue process.

The South Bend Police later announced via their social media that Zeus, the name given to the Doberman, was adopted by Northcutt, the officer who played a pivotal role in his rescue. Northcutt expressed to the department that from the moment she encountered Zeus, she felt he would be an excellent fit for her household.

 

Zeus marks the second dog that Northcutt has saved from adverse conditions while on duty. Moved by the impact of Zeus’s story on the community, Northcutt intends to fund two pet adoptions at the South Bend Animal Resource Center. The investigation into the circumstances of Zeus’s predicament, including the use of the zip-tie, is ongoing by the police.

The South Bend Animal Resource Center (SBARC) has indicated that Zeus is expected to recover fully from his ordeal without any lasting physical harm and has been thriving in his new environment.
