Just like any other creature, dogs are curious and pure-hearted beings. Sadly, some of them can’t detect danger or malicious intent, which often leads them to trouble. Urban areas aren’t designed with dogs in mind, leaving those who live on the streets to endure harsh living conditions and numerous challenges, examples of which can be seen in this poor dog’s situation.
In Thailand, a tiny canine got stuck under a heap of melted rubber asphalt and was struggling to survive. Thankfully, kind-hearted people came to his rescue and he is now in good health. The little pup showed his gratitude by happily wagging his tail. The incident happened at an industrial site in Nakhon Nayok, where workers carelessly dumped waste materials at an abandoned site, posing a serious threat to the innocent animal. Since tar is commonly used for road repairs, it has a sticky texture that made it difficult for the dog to move. The pup was discovered by a passerby, with only his head sticking out of the tar. Fortunately, he was able to breathe and drink water, which made it easier for people to save him. Had he not been found in time, his fate would have been much different.
Numerous creatures stroll around the vicinity, exacerbating the employees’ carelessness. The more he tried to escape, the more he got stuck. Although the concoction of substances could be highly dangerous, fortunately, the dog escaped any further harm. A man roaming in the area happened to notice the dog and immediately called for assistance. Veterinarians and other volunteers arrived along with emergency services and they all utilized a bulldozer to extricate the dog from the hazardous situation and start the cleaning process.
After escaping danger, the poor animal was soaked in benzine oil. It took over two hours of careful and painstaking work to remove the tar from his body piece by little piece. Once he was finally clean, he was taken to a veterinary center where he was given the name Mali.
It’s scary to think about what would have happened to this helpless animal if it weren’t for the kind person who rescued him. Sadly, there are far too many people who don’t take responsibility for their actions and thoughtlessly dispose of their waste, putting others in harm’s way. We should all make an effort to be more considerate of those around us, especially when it comes to the welfare of vulnerable creatures.
