Irvine, California- Three little dogs were abandoned in the middle of a park in California. When a passerby tried to help, the pups ran, which made this rescue a challenge.

A man in the park noticed a crate filled with puppies. Hoping to help them, he lifted one out of the crate.

But as soon as he did, the other two sprinted across the busy road and eventually hid in some bushes.

Luckily, the third dog remained next to the crate; it was way to afraid of the busy street to bolt.

Soon, dog rescuer Suzette Hall's phone rang. She immediately got behind the wheel.

"When I got there, there they were – shaking, terrified," she said in a post on Instagram.

"Two of them were hidden deep in the bushes, too scared to even move."

Hall had no choice but to climb under the bush and grab the scared dogs.

Once Hall knew two out of three pups were safe, she went looking for the third, who was still lingering in the park.

What happened next really tugged on her heartstrings: "I wish I had gotten video of this moment. It was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen."

As soon as the little rascal spotted his brothers, he ran off as fast as he could and jumped straight into the arms of the animal rescuer.

"It was like he knew… his friends were safe, and they were all going to be rescued together," she said.

Hall was thrilled with the rescue.

"Sometimes it's so hard to capture these moments on video when you're in the middle of a rescue… but it was absolutely beautiful," she said.
