This is a real hope for paws true story about a lonely old man who has almost nothing in this world yet helps homeless puppies, kittens and dogs in his neighborhood in Detroit.
Homer Moore and Miss Mayfield; a man living in a dilapidated house on the east side of Detroit that has no running water or electricity and a stray puppy living in and around a burned out house right across the street. I’ve been pretty deeply moved by these two, so it’s time to tell their story.
This is the link to Jarrod’s rescue video:
It all began three days before I became involved.
Tom McPhee has been surveying Detroit for dogs for the American Strays 2030 Project (a scientific means of determining the number of stray dogs on the streets in large urban spaces) when he spotted a little brindle pit puppy in the driveway of an abandoned, burned out house.
This puppy appeared to be on her own and likely wouldn’t last very long if she did not get help. The puppy was a wily one and not interested in making friends with anyone though.
While keeping an eye on the space and the puppy, Tom met residents Cal and Homer. Cal lived in an apartment building a block from the puppy’s domain and he was willing to tell Tom what he knew about the puppy, which was that she had been around for a few months, and that neighbors were feeding her, including Homer. Introductions were made. Tom took some time to get to know Homer and hear his story, including his connection to Miss Mayfield – whom Homer named.
For six days the WA2S team tried to organize the pick of up of this beautiful puppy, but a trap was needed; no one could catch her by hand. It took time and organization of schedules to arrange for Lori Briggs, dog rescuer extraordinaire, to bring her trap to Detroit, but it was confirmed for that Saturday, the day I joined the expedition.
When we pulled up to the burned out house the puppy was in the driveway but ran away when we got too near. She was sweet, but frightened, and looked to be only a few months old.
