A tragedy unfolded at an abandoned quarry in Thailand, where stray dogs live among rocks and deadly pools of tar. This video captures the grueling rescue efforts to save the lives of tiny puppies teetering on the brink of death.
A Heartbreaking Scene at the Abandoned Quarry
The story begins at a derelict site where spilled asphalt created lethal sticky traps. According to a local woman, at least seven puppies had already perished after getting stuck there before the rescue team could arrive.
When the team reached the location, they found two puppies fused to the tar, their bodies stiffening under the intense heat. Additionally, three other puppies were found with tar on their paws; fearing they would eventually get stuck as well, the team brought them back to the center for care.
Tireless Efforts Using Manual Rescue Methods
To remove the thick, hardened asphalt clinging to the puppies’ skin and fur, the rescuers had to use a large amount of vegetable oil. This is the most effective method to dissolve tar without causing further trauma or pain to the puppies’ delicate skin.
The process required extreme patience and meticulousness:
-
Cleaning the Tar: Rescuers continuously poured oil and gently massaged the fur to peel away each layer of asphalt.
-
Emergency Medical Support: Having been trapped under the hot sun for a long time, the puppies were severely dehydrated and exhausted. They were immediately given liquid nutrition to help regain their strength.
Moments of Revival
Although the cleaning process was not yet complete and required much more work, the puppies began to show signs of alertness. The other puppies in the pack, despite getting a bit car sick on the ride back, were safe and gradually stabilized.
The video concludes with images of the adorable puppies slowly coming back to life—a testament to the relentless daily efforts of “The Moho” rescue team for animals in distress.
Conclusion: This story serves as a warning about the potential dangers facing stray animals in abandoned areas while honoring the compassion of rescuers. These puppies narrowly escaped a “death trap” and are now waiting for a brighter new life.
