Animal Aid Unlimited rescued a stray dog that was found lying in the middle of a road. When they found the dog, it was in a critical condition and was barely able to gather energy to lift its head off the ground. It had maggots infested over his right ear. The skin was almost gone, leaving it weak and in agony. It was impossible for the stray dog to move, eat or drink.
If Rajasthan-based charity Animal Aid Unlimited not rescued him when they did, he would surely have died in that very same spot.
Aid Unlimited said, “We found him lying in anguish on the side of the street, gravely wounded and broken. The side of his head was being eaten by maggots and his body had given up all hope. He lifted his head with great difficulty when we approached but quickly collapsed again from the effort.
Dog Rescued
After successful treatment and months of rehabilitation, Major Sahib is now unrecognizable in a video below – depicting his horrific ordeal and later recovery.
In the video, Major Sahib can first be seen trembling in fear and pain in the road with cars weaving round him before the rescue team scooped him up in a blanket and put him in their ambulance.

After several months of treatment
Animal Aid Unlimited named this handsome fella “Major Sahib” in honor of his incredibly valiant spirit.
‘He was wounded and broken, but he had so much more life to live.’
And Major Sahib is doing just that, as he laps up attention from the team at Animal Aid Unlimited and enjoys playing in the safety of its sanctuary.
Animal Aid Unlimited – set up by Erika, Jim and Claire Abrams-Myers 15 years ago after the family relocated to India from Seattle – rescues thousands of animals from India’s streets every year.
