She Was A Hero
The man who picked it up was named Bob. Bob had obviously mistaken Harley for a male dog as he referred to her as “he”. Bob lived nearby and had a dog named “Maddy”.
Maddy got trapped under a thorny bush, and Harley must have heard her yelps. Harley found Bob and led him to the spot where Maddy was. In Bob’s words, she was a “hero”.
