Despite being partially hidden in a roadside drainage ditch, however, the salmon pink kennel was hard to miss.
It was placed in a back road area surrounded by farmland in California, where the wooden structure was set up. The leash was still in place and a nervous brindle dog was huddled inside, waiting for a car to pass.
Luckily, a wary neighbor found the little pink shack earlier this month and called the police to report the dog. The officer who responded took the dog to the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (SCCAS), in which the pup was clearly grateful to be safe.
