A Chilean dad and his son were on their way home when they suddenly noticed something peculiar. They were in their car driving past a garbage dump when they saw a dog in a tar pool, trapped inside an old tire. The dog was struggling to get out but was only able to manage to keep her head above the thick and sticky goo.
The man stopped the car, and both of them went out to investigate. They realized that the dog had probably been there for quite some time because she looked exhausted and could barely move. They knew that the dog needed help right away, so they called for assistance.
Thrown intentionally
Luckily, some men were in the dump, and they rushed to the dog to help her. Together, they lifted the dog out of the tar pool and rushed her to the vet. By the look of things, it was highly probable that the poor pup was intentionally dumped inside.
Several vets and aides quickly came together to remove the black sticky mess that covered the dog’s body. It took them several gruelling hours before they were finally able to clean him up. It took a couple of days more before they were able to remove the tar from her body entirely.
The vets said that aside from exhaustion, the dog was also dehydrated and starving. She was already very weak when she came in. If it weren’t for the father and son, she would have died within hours. They felt terrible that someone would be so heartless as to throw a helpless dog to certain death.
Tar
One of the vets, Lissy Alvarado Gamez, said that she is so proud of her team from the Puppies Vet City of Antofagasta, Chile, for putting all the effort and patience to save the dog, which they named Tar. And after she was strong enough, she was given to the man and his son, who found the dog. The unnamed man said Tar is very happy with them, and they are delighted to have her in their family too.
