This was plastered all over Ta1wan news yesterday and the incident was blogged by 阿之宝.
For the eat potato friends, here's what happened.
There was the construction yard where the telephone poles were laid on the ground for later deployment. And there were 4 puppies who happened to be there making a lot of noise disturbing the peace of the neighbours.
So apparently, some one called the dog pound and the dog catchers arrived scaring the puppies to run for cover. Unfortunately, in their panic, they burrowed themselves within the gaps of the poles, only to find themselves trapped. They were too far in that the people couldn't reach them and pull them out and the puppies themselves couldn't get themselves out either.
ChungHwa Telecom was the company that own the telephone poles and they were contacted about the plight of these four puppies.
At first the folks were skeptical that a big corporation like ChungHwa Telecom would even bother to deal with this but surprise! surprise! ChungHwa Telecom despatched 3 cranes and 10 personnel to the puppies' rescue!
Hip Hip Hooray!
However, by the time they arrived, it was raining and it was dark, making the rescue extremely difficult as a wrong move could easy crush the puppies to death.
For the sake of the four puppies, the guys promptly returned the next day when the sun came back up again and rescue work began.
It was all in a morning's work and the puppies were all rescued!
This little story was broadcasted on the Ta1wan news and has touched the hearts of many people. Some even want to switch their mobile phone operator to ChungHwa Telecom!
I just like to salute these guys for having a heart and that hopefully, it would inspire more people to do the same.
The world could use with a little more love.
