The neighbors decided to jump the fence and remove the dog’s muzzle themselves. They also provided the dog with food, water, and a warm shelter. Afterward, they contacted animal control and the police, who eventually removed the dog from the neglectful situation.

This act of kindness from the neighbors highlights the importance of taking action when animal abuse or neglect is witnessed. It also shows that sometimes, despite best efforts, authorities may not always take immediate action, so it’s up to the community to step in and help when they can.
