A Rumpke driver is hailed as a hero for rescuing a puppy near Cincinnati on Wednesday morning.

According to Rumpke, Aaron Kinsel was working when he noticed a discarded backpack along the road in Colerain Township.

Kinsel then noticed that the bag was moving. Then he got out of the truck and found a 10 week old puppy.

Rumpke said the female boxer mix is ​​being treated at a local veterinarian’s office for dehydration and a broken leg.
