I'm sure you Eldad is an angel sent from earth to save all animals in need

I dislike it when people mistreat animals. If I can't trust you around an animal, I can't trust you with a human!!!

This poor dog must have been abandoned, given where he was. I can’t understand how anyone could leave their pet in such a situation, right next to a fast road. At least drop him off at a vet or rescue centre. Thank you for rescuing him and giving him the life he deserves.

When Norman looked up at Eldad in the car, that said it all for me. It was a look of pure gratitude.

People are very cruel ugh. It’s people like you who we need more of in this world.

Okay. Not gonna lie. I cried. He is so adorable. Thank goodness he didn't try to run from you into traffic. I was scared for you both. Thank you for always rescuing those amazing animals that find themselves in a bad place at no fault of their own.

So amazing that this dog had an injured hip but allowed himself to be picked up and carried away without biting/snapping. So glad he got the help he needed. Life long blessings to all those that were there to help.

Thanks to everyone that helped the dog. The owner should be thrown from her own vehicle. I’m glad we still have tremendous people who will go out of their way to help an injured dog or person that has been mistreated ❗️🇺🇸

Thank u Lord for saving him, an that u kept him from going into merging traffic, an God bless this precious man, in Jesus Name Amen...💞🙏🥰

How can someone be so evil and cruel to this dog and other people. Throwing or leaving a dog in a busy freeway is a crime. This just angers me… karma will pay back. I sincerely hope Norman this helpless dog finds a loving and caring family. God bless you for saving this dog.

Such a wonderful operation you have here! Those of us out here who are animal nuts…. we cannot thank you enough! You are truly doing God’s work and helping the most innocent and vulnerable!

Thank you for rescuing Norman from such a dangerous situation. ❤🙏

Thank you for rescuing Norman from the freeway. If a driver had not stopped to help him, he would have died. It is horrifying to think that someone deliberately dumped him where he was found, probably in the cardboard box beside him. To everyone at Hope for Paws, thank you.

I use to donate, but cannot afford to. I am looking for ways to increase my income, so I can start donating again. This video made me cry.

Poor little guy. He didn't get there by walking. What a love. Thanks so much for rescuing him.

Norman looks so much like the dog I had growing up and into into my young adulthood. His name was Sparky and he lived to sixteen years old. He just passed away about a year and a half ago. I'm so happy to see this little guy get so much love and care ❤

Such a happy ending for a painful beginning. Blessing for both Normans.

The humans that heroically save animals are as deserved of praise as those American military personnel that defend America. I've NEVER met an animal I didn't like. I've met thousands of human animals I would happily and quickly sacrifice for nonhuman animals.

His bravest was the rescue of Jordan who was mutilated by an insane monster. I say that rescue was his bravest because he came through for Jordan, and he must have faced his greatest internal demon : to go after the monster who did that to a poor tiny dog and get revenge.

If only everyone had the same respect, consideration and love for them, what an absolutely fantastic world we'd be living in!!!

Your place is reserved in the heavens! As a monthly donator to this wonderful cause Happy Christmas and hope many more animals are rescued for 2023!

You continue to warm my heart with your kindness and bravery Eldad! I'm so happy you were able to rescue Norman! He reminds me of a dog I had to re-home for his well being when I was insecure in my housing/employment at the time. My partner is allergic to dogs or I'd love to adopt him, he seems so chill. I hope he finds a great home soon!

Breaks my heart that people abandon their animals or just don’t care of them. They are supposed to be are best and loyal friends. Thank you all for everything you do to help these animals.

Thank you for your love, care and support of animals who can't speak for themselves. Hope for Paws is a true blessing. Whoever did that to sweet Norman will NOT go unpunished. God knows exactly who they are. They can't hide from the Almighty. That brings me comfort to know they WILL be severly punished for what they did.

I used to live in the general area where this fwy is at. The Freeway Over Head Sign said; Atlantic and Bandi - Exits. This is around the City of Commerce, Maywood, Bell and Bell Gardens. And the Freeway is; The 5 Freeway, coming out Los Angeles. That being said; If you'll take a moment, you'll see a Blue/Grey Apartment build... there are also other apartment buildings and houses or (Residential Neighborhood). I personally believe that, from the looks of the dog (he's pretty healthy and decently taken care of), it some how got out of it's home, got through to the Freeway, (Not hard at all, in many area's there's only either chain link and if there's is a sound wall portion, there's always, ways unto the Freeway). Some where in the late evening or possibly, early early morning, he ventured out and unto the Freeway. This Freeway is one the oldest in California and busiest - the 5 Freeway. In doing so, little man probably, 'got clipped' by a car and made it to the median where he stayed. That being said; Little man escaped death after bein hit and was in shock from the injury, not only that, but... the absolute 'din' of the passing cars, probably was driving him crazy to the point of being numb and giving up. God Bless you Sir, The Hospital and the passing motorist checking on you. And to little man... Hell of an ordeal.
