It makes me so sad to see this. I have one of the first "viral" animal rescue videos on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zfKkihoH3Uk and one of those channels has a shot for shot recreation of my video.
For backstory I found a dog way out in the countryside and clipped together the videos I had sent my wife when I had found and picked up the dog. I wound up posting it to my local subreddit to try to get the dog adopted and it went viral from there. Within 24 hours I licensed the video for a mid 4 figure sum to an agency.
Good job on the puppy rescue. The larger picture to me is that there is a market for "reality drama" videos, that can pay the lucky videographer mid 4 figure sums. Wasn't aware, but should have known. Not to detract from what you did here, but it explains why people increasingly are whipping out their mobiles when someone (human or animal) is in a life threatening situation nearby, instead of trying to help (or even get out off the way of rescue teams).
