When Daisy the hunting dog was no longer of use to her proprietor, she was abandoned and left to fend for herself. She hardly made it through on scraps of food in a dangerous part of town. Daisy was heartlessly tied to a tree by a resident who saw her as a "nuisance" in the area. She was left there for more than 24 hr prior to somebody called "DAR Animal Rescue" for assistance. By the time rescuer Ermioni arrived, Daisy was incoherent from fear, hunger, and loneliness.

When Ermioni approached Daisy, she was so petrified that she believed she was about to be hurt, even though not a single various other person had actually come forward to assist her.
