So glad they rescued the puppies! First, Hart told Haas to get into her car and to drive in front of the bus as slowly as possible to impede its progress. Incredibly, this tactic was successful. "I hear the horn from the bus in the distance, angry with Sam for slowing it down," Hart wrote in a post last month for Dogster. "Half a mile back turns to a quarter mile and then, the glowing taillights and silhouette of a bus emerge in the night." As Hart and her husband finally caught up to the bus, the vehicle came to a stop in front of them, allowing passengers to disembark. Hart writes: James hits the gas and slides up behind the bus, I hop out and dash for its open door. It closes. Like a lunatic I am jumping up and down, calling for the driver to open the doors. Like a completely sane person, he drives away. I jump back in the car and we take off after it. James calmly driving, myself coordinating with Sam... Another stop comes up and the bus pulls over, Sam stops in front of it and James stops on the side to sandwich it in. I run up to the doors and again they close in my face and I am shouting at the driver to please open the door. He looks at me with hesitation when I yell, "A homeless man has puppies on your bus! They are in a plastic container with the lid on and they could run out of air!!" To his credit, he opens the doors. Stepping onto the bus, Hart looks for the man with the puppies. She easily spots him: a young man with a motorized cart and a Tupperware bin stuffed with pups. "It wasn’t until I was on the bus that I realized there were serious risks involved with what I was doing and just how careful I needed to be. For all I knew, this man could be dangerous, or have had a weapon and I could easily get hurt. With this in mind, I decided to go for a gentle and slow approach and try to befriend him," Hart told the HuffPost of the meeting. Fortunately, the exchange was a peaceful one. After explaining what she does for a living, Hart convinced the young man to step off the bus. After lots of convincing and giving him all the cash in her pocket for the animals, the man handed Hart three of the four pups. (Her husband returned a short time later with more money for the fourth dog.)
