| Published on December 11, 2015

Steve Shelafoe is a sanitation worker in Phoenix, Arizona. As a sanitation collector, he sees a lot of strange stuff thrown in the trash. But he was shocked to see a dog at the back of his truck, moments away from being killed by the trash compactor.

Steve told Fox News, “At first I thought he was just a stuffed animal, because he wasn’t really moving, and then as I stopped it then he jumped up on top and started walking around.

Watch the video below for the full story.

Thanks to Steve, Hopper is safe. And after just being together for a short time, the two have formed a strong bond.
