Rescued Stray Dog Gets Graduation from Medical Mutts

A stray dog recently rescued and adopted graduated from Medical Mutts Service Dogs. The group is responsible for training dogs for people with specific physical problems or disabilities.

As per the Facebook post by Indiana State Trooper John Perrine, troopers with the Indiana State Police were trying to rescue the stray dog as it was walking along a busy portion of I-65 in Indianapolis. The troopers and a man stopped to rescue the pup. Daniel Moulder, who helped the troopers save the dog, adopted it later. Here is the message he sent to Trooper John Perrine:

“May 14, 2023, my wife and I were driving on I65 through downtown, and we noticed traffic coming to a standstill. We also noticed a State Trooper going slowly with his lights on. There was a large dog running west along the concrete barrier between the east and westbound lanes. We figured out that he was trying to coral the dog. I drove ahead of them and pulled over. My wife and I got out to help. Eventually, we got her captured. Neither of the Troopers were in a position to take her, so my wife and I did. We work with a couple of local rescues. This dog, who we named Trooper, is very smart and well behaved!

We contacted Medical Mutts Service Dogs, a group that trains dogs for people with certain disabilities of physical problems, to see if Trooper would be a good candidate for them. Well… the first picture below, is her graduation from that program! She is going to Kansas with a great couple. Anyway, we neglected to get the two Troopers names to let them know what happened.”
