The PSPCA honors George Bengal

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) The man who has championed our 4-legged friends and gave a voice to the voiceless is saying goodbye to a career in humane enforcement.

On Thursday, the PSPCA threw a party for its long-time humane law enforcement director George Bengal. Doctors have diagnosed him with terminal cancer.

From the bitter cold to sweltering heat, Bengal and his team has saved thousands of animals and brought countless criminals to justice.

Well-wishers have been flooding him with tweets and emails from around the world.

The PSPCA has just established The George Bengal Fund to End Animal Cruelty to carry on his mission of protecting animals and preventing cruelty throughout Pennsylvania.
