This video documents the heart-wrenching rescue of a dog abandoned in a village, whose severely matted fur had become a heavy, painful burden on her body.
1. A Heartbreaking Encounter in the Village
The rescuer drove for two hours to reach the dog, who had been living as a stray. Upon seeing the dog’s condition, she was deeply pained: the fur was matted to an extreme degree, clumped with dirt, debris, and filth. She expressed her outrage, questioning how anyone could allow a living creature to fall into such a terrible state of neglect.
2. The Truth Behind the Severe Matting
Many might wonder why the dog had to be shaved so close to the skin. The rescuer explains the necessity:
-
The Pain: Severe mats constantly pull and tighten the dog’s skin, causing continuous discomfort and pain—much like someone constantly pulling on your own skin.
-
Breeding Ground for Disease: These mats are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria, parasites, and sharp foreign objects like dry grass. If left untreated, these objects can puncture the skin and lead to serious infections.
-
The Safest Solution: Using professional clippers to remove the mats is the only safe and painless way to liberate the dog from this heavy “armor”.
3. Cleaning and Parasite Removal
Once the matted coat was removed, the dog underwent a thorough inspection to eliminate all parasites clinging to her body. This was followed by multiple rounds of bathing with specialized shampoo to wash away years of accumulated grime and filth.
4. The Tragic Story of Abandonment
The rescuer shared the sad history of the dog:
-
She was purchased as a puppy only a few weeks old.
-
As the owners’ family grew (eventually having five children), their responsibilities increased, and they lost interest in the dog.
-
They first relegated her to the yard, then kicked her out to the street. When the loyal dog kept finding her way back home, they deliberately took her to a distant village so she would be unable to find her way back.
-
The dog had been living a lonely life on the streets for two years.
5. A New Appearance and New Hope
After being groomed, the dog looked like a completely different creature—clean, light, and much more comfortable. The villagers who had been feeding her were astonished and delighted to see her incredible transformation. The video concludes with a wish for the dog’s future and a plea to viewers: if you can no longer care for a pet, please find them a new home instead of abandoning them on the street.
