That is true that older dogs have a hard time being in a shelter.

It's always heartwarming to read these rescue stories! 
Thank goodness that concerned citizen was paying attention and that firefighter Caden Wilson was able to save the little dog. A perfect example of community and emergency services working together for a happy ending.

It was good that quick action saved that old dog quickly, as it would have been stressing stuck in a ditch.
