State trooper rescues abused pit bull and then adopts the dog
State trooper rescues pit bull, then adopts him
Posted: 06/04/2010
Baltimore, MD - Nitro looks so healthy and happy now. A couple weeks ago you would not recognise him. Beaten and tied to a fence in Baltimore City, he was not expected to live very long. But along came Trooper 1st Class Robert Lukiewski, who spotted the animal, cut him loose, took him to a Vet, then brought Nitro to his home.
Trooper Lukiewski and Debra Rahl from BARCS, along with Nitro, were guests on Good Morning Maryland and told Megan Pringle all about the emotional toll the rescue had taken on him. Bring Nitro home gave the Trooper a very rewarding feeling and he reminded viewers that animal abuse should be reported immediately.
Debra invited viewers to a public meeting on Wednesday, June 16th at Poly High School- 1400 West Cold Spring Lane, where information on animal safety and care will be presented.
Watch the entire interview and hear Trooper Lukiewski's story by clicking on the video link attached.
