"Save the poor dog and puppies!" was a pleading that reverberated throughout the community that was desperate. The sense of urgency was captured on video, and the image that met rescue workers as they rushed to the scene was both heartbreaking and distressing. A dog that was so terribly starved that it could not stand was lying there helpless. In close proximity, a number of puppies, who were confined outside, endured the same deplorable conditions.
The animals were swiftly set free by the rescuers, who then immediately informed the authorities about the situation. Who was responsible for abandoning these helpless creatures? When the veterinarian saw the dog, he was filled with horror. Large areas of the dog's skin were destroyed by infections and necrosis, and the dog's bones protruded sharply through its thin body. All of the dog's bones were visible. Even though they were not as sick as the adults, the puppies were badly emaciated, covered with ticks, and anemic overall.
