Injured

Hundreds of dogs that were companion pets to many psychiatric patients in Uruguay, South America, were forcefully and humanly removed, after staff members form the mental institution locate in the Etchepare Colony reported being violently attacked by dogs. However, one dog walked over 37 miles to get back to his owner who he unconditionally loves.

Any time you get out of your car on a high-speed road, you’re putting your life at risk.  But for some, the risk is well worth it when an animal is in urgent need of rescue.  That was the case for Rodrigo González, who gladly stopped to help an injured dog that otherwise would have died.

There is no reason to abuse animals, but somehow animal abuse happens daily. In Cartagena, Colombia, two stray dogs were rescued by neighbors and transported to a local animal organization after the pets were found in excruciating pain.

The first dog was doused in hot water and sustained third-degree burns on his torso and front, right leg. The stray was also beaten with an unknown object, and the beating left him with a broken leg (same leg that sustained most of the burns).
