An abandoned tired dog laid down on freshly dumped tar as he was looking for a place that could keep him warm in Suwałki, Poland.

Unfortunately, the dog was unaware that he was stuck until he started barking for help. Workers nearby heard the dog’s loud barks as he begged for help.

When they got to the site and saw the dog, they quickly summoned Joanna Godlewska, an animal rescuer from the Niczyje Animal Foundation. The brave animal was able to rip his snout out of the tar, allowing him to bark and breathe.

The dog was subsequently taken to the vet to be inspected and treated for weariness. Over 100 ticks were extracted from his body.

The dog was given a comfy bed and a warm dinner after repeated washing to remove the leftover tar on his fur and paws. Fortunately, the dog started to feel better, and he was also treated for minor head wounds.h-a-n-h
