Recently, a stray dog was found trapped in a drum of tar almost dead in Udaipur. The team of Animal Aid Unlimited has rescued the dog and nursed it back to health.
Stray dog trapped in a tar drum
Animal Aid Unlimited arrived to find her unable to move, terrified, hyperventilating and horrifically dehydrated, trapped chest-deep in tar inside the drum.
Unable to remove her from the drum there on the street, Animal Aid Unlimited rescuers had to bring the entire drum with her inside it in the ambulance back to Animal Aid’s shelter.
According to Animal Aid Unlimited, she may have gone inside the drum to get warm during the night, and that her own body heat had melted the tar which she then sank into and was unable to free herself from.
When they found her she was no longer struggling and seemed to have completely given up all hope. After giving her water to quench her raging thirst, vegetable oil was poured over the rock solid tar to soften it.
Eventually, they are able to lift Asha out of the bed of tar – exposing burns on her right side.
Even getting her out of the drum was a huge challenge and took nearly an hour.
But she went on to make a full recovery and can now be seen bounding around Animal Aid Unlimited’s sanctuary, with just the scars and patches of fur missing a reminder of her traumatic ordeal.
In a message to the charity’s supporters, Animal Aid Unlimited said,’We named her Asha, which means hope in Hindi, because against all odds, she wouldn’t give up. And thanks to the strength you all give us, neither would we.’
