Trash piles are not supposed to move. But last April, Chrissy Beckles, and some co-workers saw a pile of trash wiggle near a beach in Puerto Rico.
They moved closer and saw a puppy – and then there were two more. Three puppies living in the trash!

Beckles is the founder and president of The Sato Project which helps rescue street dogs in Puerto Rico.
Beckles said the pups had no water or food and it was very hot that day.

They named the biggest pup Maximus, but all the puppies looked like they were the same age and they were tightly bonded with each other.

After doing a little look, they realized that there was something very wrong with Maximus’s back legs.
Instead of being able to walk forward, he moved sideways and crab-like.
Beckles and her associates took all the puppies to the vet where they all got thorough examinations.
An X-ray revealed that both of Maximus’ back legs were broken!
