If we rephrased a famous concept from the Dark Knight into "he's the hero we need, not necessarily deserve," then we'd have this guy. Hailing "from somewhere in the Caribbean," as he has put it, the guy was driving down the road one day, and as he stopped at the corner, he saw a dog bound to a leash.

This person found the dog in a dire condition, he knew he had to take action

In the Caribbean, chain-link fences are quite a common sight, and people's yards are clearly visible. Through the fence, he saw that the dog was in poor condition, "in the dirt," and "curled up into a ball." Judging from the horrible pictures, anyone could imagine the suffering the dog had to endure. He quickly realized that he had to get the dog out of there.
Here's the full story

He approached the dog and called out to her, and she started wagging her tail. She was starving not only for food, but for affection, too. He called out around the house waiting for a response, and when he didn't get it, he realized that nobody was home. As he was going back to his pickup, a passenger noticed the commotion. They both empathized with the horrible situation the dog was in, so the passenger offered to jump the fence and pass the dog to him. The hero of the story did as suggested, then put her neatly into his pickup, said his goodbyes, and skidded out of there.

He gave her the name Sunny, and she's been recovering ever since. 2 months have passed, and she looks and feels much better.

The replies to the legally controversial story were mostly positive and encouraging. Some even deemed the act to be courageous and righteous, while others worried about the legality of the stunt. One Reddit user advised readers to rely on animal control in states that have "good animal abuse laws." When we talk about rescues, we don't usually mean it as literally as this. Legally grey or morally great—what are your thoughts, Pandas?
