Daniel, a beagle mix who survived an Alabama gas chamber, gets a hug from New Jersey’s Joe Dwyer, whose family adopted the dog.
Well, meet Daniel, the beagle mix that survived an Alabama dog pound’s gas chamber and now has found a permanent home with a family in New Jersey.
Joe Dwyer, who, with his wife, Geralynn and daughter, Jenna, adopted Daniel last week, told the Newark Star-Ledger that the lucky pooch will be used to fight for laws outlawing gas chambers and will become a poster child for pet adoptions.
“He won’t be exploited,” Dwyer, a 50-year-old motivational speaker and dog trainer, told the paper. “His life as a part of this family is paramount.”
And he certainly won’t be lonely. Daniel has four new friends, the Star-Ledger reported: the Dwyers’ other dogs, all rescues of various breeds.
The energetic mutt wags his tail and licks every human he meets, the paper said.

“He’s a happy, healthy guy,” said Jenna Dwyer, 20, a student at Montclair State University. “I love him.”
Unharmed by gassing
The dog, named by Eleventh Hour Rescue, a network of volunteers, for the biblical figure who survived a lion’s den, was a stray left at the local pound in Florence, Ala. In September, officials at the facility decided to euthanize him along with several other dogs, according to the Ledger. The other canines were killed by the fumes in the gas chamber, but Daniel walked out unharmed.
After word of Daniel’s survival spread across the country, Eleventh Hour Rescue arranged to have him flown to New Jersey by group named Pilots N Paws.
The Dwyers told the Star Ledger that Daniel may become a therapy dog some day, but his mission for now is putting an end to animal gas chambers, which are legal in 31 states, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
