Everett (Massachusetts/USA) - On Wednesday, employees of a casino in Everett in the US state of Massachusetts found an abandoned dog. Someone had cold-heartedly left him on the railroad tracks.

The leash was visibly chewed off and the little one had apparently tried unsuccessfully to free himself.

With the help of the local fire department, they tried to reach the animal . Meanwhile, the police monitored train traffic.

After some time, the emergency services managed to reach the abandoned four-legged friend and get it safely into a fire engine.

It is not yet clear where the dog came from and who left it behind so cold-heartedly. The case is still being investigated.
