**Rescued Dog Finds Happy Ending After Narrowly Escaping Traffic**
In a heartwarming turn of events, a dog that was abandoned in front of Norfolkâs Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) narrowly escaped a tragic fate and has now found her forever home. The incident, which occurred two days before Thanksgiving, captured the attention of animal lovers nationwide.
Abandonment and Near Tragedy
On November 26, the Norfolk SPCA shared a disturbing Facebook post detailing the harrowing ordeal faced by a sweet little puppy. The CCTV footage accompanying the post showed a woman abandoning the dog by tying her to a loose piece of gutter outside the shelter. The dog, overwhelmed by fear, broke free and darted into oncoming traffic, narrowly avoiding a potentially fatal collision with passing cars.
Rescue and Rehabilitation
Fortunately, quick-thinking Good Samaritans intervened and saved the dog from harm. Norfolk SPCA wasted no time in providing the animal with the necessary care, attention, and affection she deserved. The shelter’s staff worked tirelessly to ensure that the dog, now named Grace, received the best possible treatment.
A Christmas Miracle
The heartwrenching story soon gained widespread attention, with local news outlets picking up on the viral footage. Just in time for Christmas, on December 11, Grace was welcomed into her new forever home by Sharon Tomosovich. Tomosovich, touched by Grace’s story, saw a special connection between them and decided to give the dog a new name – Holly Grace.
A Personal Connection
In an interview with Wavy, Tomosovich shared her emotional journey of adopting Holly Grace. She recounted how seeing the viral clip of Grace’s abandonment stirred something within her. As a dog lover who recently lost her canine companion of 13 years named Grace, Tomosovich felt a deep sense of empathy towards the rescued dog.
A Bond Beyond Words
Tomosovich described the moment Holly Grace laid down on her lap as an instant connection. She knew in her heart that they belonged together. Now, Holly Grace receives all the love and attention she deserves, while Tomosovich finds solace in their newfound companionship. Together, they have embarked on a journey of healing and hope, proving that every animal deserves a second chance at a happy ending.
