I'll never forget the look in their eyes when we first spotted them in the bushes along that dirt road. It was the look of  fear and complete hopelessness. It was a haunting look that stuck in our hearts. Through no fault of their own they were about to die from lack of food and water, plus they were sitting ducks for a coyote. Of course, when you think about it, how many litters of four pups do you see? There may have been more of them at some point. Nothing was going to happen to these four. Some things just have to be done no matter what the cost. Somebody has to care.
