"When I got there, neighbors had been trying desperately to save them. They had been chasing them, trying to help, and finally these three little babies found refuge underneath a car," Hall explained.

As the dog lover's video shows, three little dogs were hiding under a bright red truck. The doggos were terrified and hard to catch.

"A kind neighbor was able to get the first baby out from underneath the car. But the other two were terrified, frantically running whenever anyone got close," Hall explained.

Per the veteran rescuer, the two dogs still on the loose were concerned about their friend, which luckily kept them from running away entirely.

"They didn't want to leave each other. 💔
So I set my traps and placed their little friend safely behind one of them," the Californian said.
