On this episode of The Dog Saviors, squatter Homer Moore, a man living in a dilapidated house on the east side of Detroit that has no running water or electricity takes care of a stray puppy living in and around a burned out house right across the street.
The WA2S Films team used hidden cameras to uncover the whereabouts of the little puppy Homer named Miss Mayfield. We’ve been deeply moved by these two, so it’s time to tell their story. This is the link to Jarrod's rescue video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyBWgyJgxrk American Strays Project team leader Tom McPhee has been surveying Detroit for stray, homeless and roaming 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. 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.
