The story begins with Rich and I watching the news of the three pups nailed to the railroad tracks. We were horrified but glad that they were rescued by railroad workers and brought to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society (MHHS). All the puppies were treated for dehydration, malnutrition and infections caused by their wounds. All the pups had severe wounds to their paws; one pup had a hole through her paw; the male pup's rear paw was completely removed; and the other female pup had two digits removed. Sadly the smallest female pup with a hole in its paw did not survive. Hudson, the puppy missing his back paw was fitted with a prosthetic paw at MHHS in November. Hudson and Pearl were neutered and spayed and were now ready to be adopted and thus starts the happy beginning for Hudson and Pearl, "The Railroad Pups."
