A mother dog and her puppy were victims of a cruel and inhumane act when they were tied up in a sack and left on an isolated dirt road. However, their luck turned around when a compassionate person discovered them and saved their lives. An animal rescuer named Josiane Almeida was then notified by a concerned citizen about the distressed dogs in Lagoa da Plata, Brazil.
Upon spotting something unusual on the side of a country road, she and her husband pulled over to film it. Despite having experience with many animals who had suffered from abuse in the past, Josiane was still taken aback by what they encountered.
Almeida expressed his shock and disgust upon witnessing one of the most appalling cases of animal cruelty. He shared through an online platform that a horrendous incident had taken place where a helpless mother dog and her puppy were stuffed inside a bag and abandoned in an isolated location. As per his account, the poor animals were left stranded there for a significant period.
When Josien got closer to the dog, the mother gave a warning growl which was understandable considering her current situation. One of the puppies managed to escape the sack and stood beside the mother. Unfortunately, three other puppies were still stuck inside. However, their rescue is imminent.
Josiane observed that the mother dog was struggling and her puppy appeared malnourished and frail. She kindly brought them both to her home, providing them with nourishment and a chance to rest. Afterward, she sought the opinion of a veterinarian who diagnosed the mother with cancer, though happily, all the puppies were in good health.
Josiane appealed to social media for financial aid to cover her chemotherapy expenses and received an overwhelming response from her friends and supporters. While undergoing treatment, Josiane also took it upon herself to care for a mother dog and her litter of puppies. The mother dog is currently receiving medical attention and will be up for adoption once she and her puppies are ready. Josiane expressed her relief in being able to assist the dog and her family, who were previously living in distressing conditions. She posted on social media, “It’s amazing how God has transformed this family’s life. They were once trapped in a suffocating sack of misery, but with the help of kind souls, they now have hope and a brighter future. Thank God for giving me the chance to make a difference.”
