Unfortunately, Gaia passed away just two hours before the organization could get to her. This happened because a vehicle struck her in the street. Gaia was only in the area in the first place because people dropped her off in an unfamiliar setting.

Once the rescue worker found out about Gaia’s passing, he understandably was upset. This compelled him to make a promise to Gaia, even though she wasn’t alive when he finally met her. He promised the mama dog that he’d do whatever it took to rescue her pups.

The rescuer persevered, however, and in the end was able to help each and every animal. If you want to see this all for yourself, click on the available video clip for this story.
