COLUMBUS, Ohio — A puppy was rescued after being found in a dumpster in east Columbus last week.
According to a post from the Columbus Department of Public Service, Dave Carlson, one of the Division of Refuse operators was servicing dumpsters at an apartment complex.
Carlson noticed the puppy in the dumpster, struggling to get out from under the trash. Carlson contacted his supervisor, Logan Sieg, and told him about the puppy.
Sieg went to the complex, dug the puppy out from under the trash and rescued it.
The Franklin County Dog Shelter told Sieg to contact the Alum Creek Station where the puppy was eventually taken. While the Sieg was waiting for Franklin County, he gave the puppy water and peanut butter crackers.
Public Service said they were told the puppy is doing great and should be adopted by a new family soon.
