Assignment America: Ella, lost dog
(CBS)
"I could just tell right away she was somebody's baby," said Kathy Wilkes Meyers. "She just didn't act like a stray dog to me."
Myers found the dog a few months ago. It was emaciated and drinking from a drainage ditch along an empty stretch of highway about 30 miles south of Nashville.
Kathy says it's typical for people to dump unwanted pets in the middle of nowhere like that – but again, the dog's demeanor convinced her there was more to the story.
So she did some detective work and eventually found out what really happened to this dog.
It's an amazing story that will surely bring tears to even the most grizzled animal rescue worker.
Be sure to check out our story tonight on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
