When Chani Yeza and a few friends decided to spend a relaxing day boating on a delta near their home in Argentina, they had no idea their adventure would turn into a rescue mission. As they cruised through the water, something unusual caught their attention—a swimmer in distress. Upon closer inspection, they realized it wasn’t a person but a dog paddling frantically in the middle of the delta. The scene was both puzzling and urgent, as there were no other boats nearby and the shoreline was a considerable distance away.
The group immediately knew the dog needed their help. Without hesitation, they slowed the boat and sprang into action. One of them dove into the water to guide the exhausted pup to safety. The poor dog, clearly struggling, was visibly relieved as he was hoisted onto the boat.
Once onboard, the dog was given a well-deserved rest while Yeza and his companions continued their outing, now with an unexpected passenger. “We named him Delta, because that’s where we found him,” Yeza told The Dodo. It was clear the dog’s situation was dire, and the group speculated that he had likely been abandoned in the area.
As the day came to a close, Yeza took steps to ensure the dog’s safety beyond their chance encounter. “We gave him to a woman who runs an animal sanctuary. She was delighted,” Yeza explained. The sanctuary provided a safe haven for Delta, giving him a chance at a better life.
Shockingly, this is not the first time she has faced animal cruelty charges; she has a past conviction for similar crimes. We must ensure that no more animals suffer or die in her care!
“Delta is in very good hands,” Yeza said, reflecting on the serendipitous rescue. Thanks to the quick thinking and compassion of Yeza and his friends, Delta’s story transformed from one of abandonment to one of hope and a fresh start. To see Delta’s rescue, click ‘play’ below.
