Not all dog rescues go as planned or as smoothly as we hope, writes ilovemydogsomuch

Especially when rescuers operate in poor areas and have few resources. Despite having little money or training, a kind man decided he would use his free time to help the many strays he encountered. One particular evening, he followed a young dog who was clearly in distress.

The puppy was covered in wounds. He was very skinny and scared. But the rescuer didn’t give up; he knew this dog needed saving. He does his best to keep up with the dog as the puppy runs away. He finally manages to catch him. With a little help, he lays him down and sees that he has a thick rope tied around his neck. The dog must have been struggling to breathe!

The young dog had suffered severe trauma. His body is the evidence as well as his behavior. He is scared and because of his fear he seems to be aggressive. But the kind man knows better. Once the dog is settled in a medical clinic and has been assigned his own kennel, the man who rescued him (and wants to foster him) comes over to say hello.

The mere act of the man approaching the dog is not going well. The man talks a lot to the camera and the dog is unaware of what is happening. But the puppy is also traumatized. Someone had intentionally hurt him and it will take a lot of work for him to forgive the humans. He growls and shows his teeth. He is not ready to be friends yet.

Thankfully, the kind man understands and continues to vow to take care of him. Once the dog’s wounds are treated, he is also neutered. Because they are so poor at the clinic, they don’t even use a proper cone on the dog. But he has to leave his wounds alone to heal. Please don’t judge what these people have to do to save lives. At least they are trying!

Once the dog is in better health, he will go live with his rescuer and work on socializing with humans and dogs. This deserving dog will live a good life thanks to the efforts of a man who refused to give up.
