Volunteers save 'Buck' the stray dog with a bucket stuck on his head

Community members in Alabama used social media to coordinate a five-day rescue of two stray dogs, now receiving medical care and awaiting adoption together.

  • On Thursday, a community group in Alabama rescued a stray lab mix named Buck, who had a bucket stuck on his head, and his Belgian Malinois companion, Milo, after a five-day effort.
  • A resident posted pictures on Facebook asking for help, prompting a community-led effort to rescue Buck and Milo after five days, as Bowman said.
  • Rescuer Bowman used snips to remove the bucket, and 'you could see the relief on him' once the obstruction was gone, Bowman said.
  • Recovering from their ordeal, Buck is being treated for sinus and ear infections, while Milo recovers from an injured hip; both dogs are resting in a new home, awaiting adoption.
  • Because the dogs are "best buds," rescuers require veterinarian references and home visits for potential adopters to ensure the pair remains together, animal trapper Kaleb Estill added.
