Bismarck Man Rescues Dog, Gets Hero Treatment

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck man who rescued a dog dumped from a moving vehicle onto Interstate 94 in western North Dakota says he's received an outpouring of support thanks to social media.

Bill Kramer saw the female pit bull tossed from a vehicle on Monday. He stopped and determined the dog had a broken leg, facial injuries and was terrified. He was able to get the animal in his truck, and he posted a plea for help on Facebook.

Kramer tells The Bismarck Tribune he got hundreds of messages and calls from people as far as Florida, California, Massachusetts and Washington willing to donate money or supplies, or even adopt the dog.

A friend of Kramer's is taking in the dog. Kramer plans to post Facebook updates on its recovery.
