Informant: I went up to the dog cautiously, said "Baby~" and honked...
(The photo taken by the informant)
Bony body
Something is tied up around her mouth
PD: What is she tied on with?
Informant: I don't know. It looks like a black plastic bag? It was red under the tied up area. I followed the dog till there.
Informant: Oh!? It's her!! Oh my, it's her!!
The crew follow the dog carefully
The dog moves quickly due to weariness..
The dog seemed to be in a severe state
So skinny that her bones were seen
The mouth is tied up with an unknown black rope..
It looks like the rope dug into her..
She can't walk with her unsteady body
But she keeps running away..
She disappears in the end..
(Exploring the area)
PD: Have you ever seen her before?
I haven't. The mouth has been tied up..
It's tied up very tightly.. look at the rope loosened up on the bottom
A dog man probably wanted to steal her but tied the mouth because she kept barking
They must've tied her up because she had an owner. Do abandoned dogs get detained by others?
They've never seen such a small dog in the neighborhood
Yet it's hard to catch a dog that is very weary
Finding the dog again
Then!
Found her walking on an empty field
She suddenly goes inside a bush?
We approached her slowly...
The dog is searching in the food waste..
However she can't open her mouth due to the tight rope
She tries her best to eat...
But she was unable to eat and leaves the bush.
She definitely couldn't drink water
How long was she tied up..
However
Hey!
She turns its head to a voice
Come here!
The dog doesn't run
Do they know each other..?
Or is she being taken care of out of pity..?
PD: Ma'am. Do you know this dog?
Yes. It walks around here but it's hard to catch it.
Are you the owner?
She's not mine but my aunt brought her from a different place
It's been a week since its been tied up
PD: Why did she tie it up?
The grandmother just tied it up, don't put it on air and leave
She leaves the area..
We met the grandmother after some persuasion.
PD: Why did you tie up the mouth?
Owner: I thought she'll be more obedient that way.. to make her become gentle
PD: Does she become gentle?
Owner: She listens because she's scared and you have to raise her by fixing her habits.
PD: Did you ever think that she might be hurt?
Owner: Why would she have a problem~ I raised many animals before. She'll be fine!
She tied up the 2 year old because she was being annoying
The owner explains that she couldn't win due to the dog running away
PD: That's abuse
Owner: It's not abuse
PD: Don't you think tying up the mouth is abuse
....
We decided to save the dog before it's too late
Before the rescue
We explain the owner was an animal-hater
And received a disclaimer about the dog
Animal protection group: Even if the abuser is of old age,
She acknowledged her actions so we will take action for animal abuse and animal protection
The hunt for the dog starts
She has collapsed over there.. people are gathered around there, near the pole
We received information about the dog lying in a field so we rushed over
The place we ran to...
The dog is on the ground...
Discoverer: The dog was tied up tightly with this
Discoverer: I ran over here with my slippers on. The dog collapsed and couldn't get up
We hope it's not too late..
We arrived at the hospital
The wounds from the rope more serious than we had thought
Vet: This much skin around his mouth has been hurt and the skin near the gums are hurt too
More than half of her face's skin tissue has been wrong
The nerves have hardened to the extent she can't open her mouth
Vet: If it was tied up with a regular rope, the pressure would remain the same
But she was tied up with a thick high-elastic rubber band several times and the pressure increases, leading to skin diseases
The rubber band with strong elasticity would tighten over time
The pain would've been hard to be express..
Vet: She currently weighs 2.28kg and she starved over time and was discovered in a state of chill
If she stayed like that longer, she could've been alive
She waited for her pain to end..
Meanwhile
The dog got a thorough check up after gaining more energy
Vet: The red parts are abnormalities
Vet: Liver index, pancreas, protein index levels are not normal
Vet: First off, we have to make her recover from nutrition deficiency, dehydration
Even though she has difficulty opening her mouth due to the dried skin..
She became fearful of eating
We have to feed her forcefully for her health
Vet: This removes the inflammations and destroys the viruses with the help of osmotic pressure.
And it helps the empty spaces get filled with granulation tissues
A skin graft is not possible due to the large damage area
But since she's still young, she has hope to get healed
We hope you can recover soon and stand up..
