Dog covered in tar saved by rescuers

When rescuers found the dog, it was immobile like a statue, except for its eyes, which pleaded for help.

The stray dog from India had fallen into a pool of hot black tar and the material had hardened on it like a shell.

Rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited used a simple, yet effective method to remove the tar from the dog's body, but it was a painstaking process. Massaging vegetable oil by hand into the dog's fur, the rescuers were able to soften the tar and remove it.

It took two days to remove all of the tar.

All of the hard effort of the rescuers paid off, as the dog has now fully recovered.
