Nina Love is passionate about saving lives. As the founder of The Black Thornberry, an animal rescue organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Love is on a mission to give cats, dogs and more a second chance while diversifying animal rescue along the way. So when Love recently got a call from a community member about a furry figure spotted alone in a wooded area, she didn’t hesitate to act.
Love quickly realized the abandoned pup was nervous around humans. Instead of hanging around and potentially scaring her, Love and her team set up cameras to track her movements. She also set up a trap in hopes the dog would wander inside.
“I wanted to provide a safe place for her and a good food source, so I set the trap,” Love said in a video for The Dodo. “I tend to not want to use a trap. [But] I thought for her safety the trap would be the best situation.”
Love’s plan worked. Spotting the pup in the trap, the rescuer couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
“I was so emotional,” Love said.
Love greeted the dog and noticed she was wearing two collars.
“I thought that was odd,” Love said. “I immediately posted on social media, ‘Hey, has anyone lost their pet? She has two collars.’”
Soon, Love’s friend reached out and said she knew of a family in the area whose pet was missing. Could this be their dog?
The rescue team looked at photos of the family’s dog and compared them with the dog they’d found. It was a perfect match.
Love reached out to the family and told them the news. She learned that the dog’s name was Hannah and she’d been missing for two months.
After a vet visit, Love drove Hannah to reunite with her family.
“Hi, baby!” Hannah’s family member exclaimed, running toward her pet.
When Hannah’s family member began to cry, Love embraced her.
“I’m so glad I was able to help,” Love told her. “She’s so worth it.”
