We just love a happy ending. And thanks to Michael Upchurch, a garbage man in Indiana, a small pup now named Garby will live a long and safe life.
Upchurch was doing his rounds and picking up trash on Main Street. When he tipped one can into the trash he heard an indescribable sound, something resembling fear and whimpering. When he looked closer to inspect, he saw a small dog enclosed in a blue plastic bag. He ripped open the bag and freed Garby who barely had any energy to move.

People should look into who did this. At the very least the person needs to be charged with animal cruelty.
Love the happy ending, puts a smile on your face.

The dog is far better off, now.
