PULASKI, Va. – Sometimes all it takes is being at the ideal location at the correct time.
Michael Bowman Jr. said he was on a break from work when he found something stunning inside a dumpster near Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Pulaski.
Inside the dumpster was a dog caught in a container with its 4 legs covered together in electrical tape.

Bowman Jr. said he got some help from a female close by to get the tape off the dog. Once the tape was off, they attempted soothing the dog up until animal control might get here.
“I just happened to be at the right place at the right time and just help him. As soon as we got that tape off him, he drank a half-a-mug of water and ate these little chewy treats … he started feeling better,” Bowman Jr. said.
