Detroit cops rescue puppies trapped in abandoned home's mattress spring

A malnourished new mother was scavenging for food outside vacant home, with her two young puppies inside, including once who’d gotten its neck tied up in a mattress spring as temperatures were expected to drop below freezing Sunday.

Around 5 p.m., two officers with the city’s 11th Precinct, identified as H. Kourani and G. Rogers, were called to respond to a report of a "vicious dog" in the area. The rescues are doing OK, according to authorities, and can be sent to a foster home in the next few days.

But the dog they found was "nowhere near that," Kourani told Fox News Digital. She was friendly and noticeably underweight. However, she did look like she’d recently given birth.
