Alabama Volunteers Free 'Bucket' Dog Buck as Bonded Pair Recovers

Rescuers plan a vetted adoption to keep Buck with his companion Milo.

Overview

  • A Facebook post showing a stray with a bucket on his head sparked a volunteer search in Arley, Alabama.
  • Eric Bowman led the operation and cut the bucket off, saying Buck went almost limp with relief.
  • Animal trapper Kaleb Estill assisted and said Milo was initially protective before both dogs relaxed once the bucket was removed.
  • Buck is being treated for sinus and ear infections, while Milo is recovering from a hip injury and cuts.
  • The dogs are recuperating in a new home and will be offered for adoption together with veterinarian references and a home visit required.
