Dog Rescues Kittens Left For Dead On Roadside

Two kittens had been sealed into an empty cat food bag, left on a roadside and run over by traffic on a rural Iowa highway about three months ago.

Reagan, a yellow lab, eventually found the bag, dragged the bag home and whined until his owner opened it only to discover two kittens barely hanging onto life, while the rest of the litter hadn't survived, prompting a call to the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.

"There was a litter of four or five of them and you couldn't tell if there were two or three [in the bag]...they had been run over by a vehicle. It was not a pretty sight," Linda Blakely of the animal shelter said.

The Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary is now housing the two kittens -- Skipper and Tipper -- who weren't originally expected to live through the ordeal. The two were bottled-fed every two hours and are now back to their normal lively selves.

Thanks to Reagan, both kittens are now up for adoption through the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.
