Stories about animal cruelty are unfortunately too common, and they often have a devastating ending.

Thankfully, this is not the case for two beagles who were thrown from a moving car in New York.

According to the Associated Press, the event took place in mid December on a snowy New York highway.

WBNG reported that a truck driver traveling close to the car on a highway witnessed the entire event. This truck driver said a person sitting in the passenger seat of a car rolled down his window and tossed two beagles out onto the side of the road.

The truck driver immediately stopped his car to help the dogs, and he quickly noticed that they were injured. One dog was fairly banged up with severe road rash, but he was able to move around after being thrown from the car. It was clear that the other dog was seriously injured.

The trucker driver stayed with the dogs until police arrived at the scene.

The severely injured beagle was getting chilly laying on the snow, so the truck driver immediately took the sweatshirt off of his own back to keep the dog as comfortable as possible. After veterinarians at an emergency animal hospital treated him, the rescue crew and truck driver learned that this dog had bruised lungs, broken ribs and two fractured legs. One leg was so severely broken that it had to be amputated.

Both dogs were tended to carefully and nursed back to health in different locations. However, they did receive names from their caregivers. Trooper and Adam were named after their heroic rescuers.

While Trooper and Adam may have horrendous memories of this event that they may live with for the rest of their lives, they thankfully still have each other. These two beagles were adopted to the same loving family.

According to the Inside Edition, Roger and Connie Miller have adopted both dogs and are eagerly waiting for them to be well enough to come home. The dogs have, however, been reunited ahead of their relocation to a new home. The event was captured on camera, and it is clear by their reaction that they were thrilled to see each other again. After initially sniffing, they repeatedly nuzzled each other while their tails wagged happily.
