Trucker Travels 4,000 Kilometers to Save Pit Bull from Euthanasia—Now They’re Inseparable
For many, a single photograph can spark an emotional connection. That’s exactly what happened when Mario Rodríguez, a dedicated truck driver, came across a picture of Hickory, a pit bull facing euthanasia at a New York shelter. Growing up with pit bulls, Mario had always felt a deep love for the breed, and something about Hickory’s face struck a chord. He knew he had to save him, no matter what it took.
At the time, Mario was working across the country in California, thousands of kilometers away. But distance wasn’t an obstacle—it was just a challenge he was determined to overcome. Without hesitation, he contacted the shelter and began rearranging his trucking route, making adjustments to ensure he could reach Hickory in time.
