Carl Allen, one of the Good Samaritans who helped rescue a dog found on the side of a Colorado road with its muzzle taped shut and legs taped together, says at first he wasn't sure what he was seeing was real.

"The dog was standing still and we just saw the white tape on the mouth and I said 'is that a dog with its mouth taped shut?'" Allen said.

Allen and a friend were traveling along Platte River Drive near the intersection of Huron Street when he says he saw the dog in the middle of the street. Allen and two people driving by jumped out of their cars to help the dog. He says it initially tried to get away.

"The dog started urinating on itself it was so terrified. We just kept trying to pet it and tell it that everything was ok, that we're just trying to help you" Allen said.

".... and in the end, the only thing that matters is how you treated all living things." I hope whoever did this has karma (and justice) kick him/her in the ass.
