Woman Finds Porch Ransacked By Culprit Hidden In Plain Sight
She had no idea she was being watched âŠ
Sometimes the cutest faces make the biggest messes. Thatâs what one St. Louis, resident learned recently when she discovered her back deck had been completely rummaged through.
With soil from her garden scattered about and flower pots knocked on their sides, it became clear that some sort of animal was responsible for the mess â and whoever, or whatever it was, silently watched from behind a terra-cotta pot.
Thatâs when the woman spotted a clump of brown fur and two eyes staring at her from behind a fallen planter.
She slowly inched her way closer to the mischief-maker and was shocked to find the cutest puppy ever.
The woman couldnât tell if the pup was injured or not, but she knew for sure that the stray didnât belong to anyone in her neighborhood. So she called Stray Rescue of St. Louis for help.
Donna Lochmann, chief life saving officer at Stray Rescue of St. Louis responded to the call immediately. She assessed the shivering pup and was relieved to find that physically, she was doing OK.
âShe was just really scared,â Lochmann told The Dodo. âLuckily, she wasnât injured.â

The puppy, whom they later named Queen Elizabeth, was visibly shaken. But, she gave no objections when Lochmann attempted to rescue her.
âShe let me leash her up, so I picked her up and carried her out to the jeep,â Lochmann said.
Although she was scared, Lochmann could tell that the puppy knew she was in safe hands. Her tail wagged whenever Lochmann looked at her, and she would reach her head out towards the dedicated rescuer almost as if she were going in for a kiss.
Lochmann brought Queen Elizabeth to the vet, who confirmed that the pup was not injured at all. The only thing that needed a little healing was her confidence.
âSheâs a little timid,â Lochmann said. âBut not in any way, shape or form aggressive.â
Queen Elizabeth was cleared for adoption shortly after arriving at the shelter and is currently waiting for her forever home. While they hope to find a loving family to take her in soon, the puppyâs rescuers are soaking up all time they currently have with her.
And theyâre so relieved that sheâll never have to spend another minute shaking in fear on a strangerâs back porch ever again.
