Border collie Jake was buried alive under a pile of rocks. Passers-by discovered the dog and asked for help.
Scotland – Border Collie Jake was buried alive under rocks on a hillside. Hikers in the Scottish Highlands have found the whimpering and howling dog (* tz.de reported). He was badly injured and close to death.
The strollers saved the life of the severely weakened dog. The rescuers of the animal welfare organization SPCA arrived just in time, reports the British portal “Metro”.
Border Collie Jake was seriously injured in the terrible act
The case is as tragic and incredible as that of a dog whose legs were intentionally broken (tz.de reported *). The rescuers took the dog straight to a veterinary clinic. Several fractures of the skull and jaw and the blindness of one eye were found there. The dog’s life hung by a thread, but luckily, contrary to all expectations, it survived the night.
“His head was so swollen and terrible. We didn’t think he’d somehow make it through. He was in a comatose state when we got to the vet, where he received emergency treatment, ”reports an animal rescue worker. “This was really one of the worst cases I have ever seen. The first time I saw Jake, I felt shocked, sad and incredulous that someone had done this to him on purpose. “
Not only the animal rights activist was shocked, but also the team at the Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Center. The extent of the dog’s injuries was devastating.
The dog went through a long recovery period with several operations
The dog received extensive treatment at the veterinary clinic. The Border Collie’s broken teeth had to be removed and the injured eye had an operation. It took weeks to recover, but it was worth it.
Border collie Jake survived the ordeal thanks to the rescue and efforts of many people. Terrifying that a person is capable of such a thing.
Jake found a happy home
The animal rights activist Mark Greener, who saved the dog during the operation, continued to care for him after the numerous operations and treatments. “When Jake came home with me, he was still incredibly fragile. His fractures weren’t completely healed and he couldn’t close his jaw, ”said Greener. “Jake needed special care and it took time to come around and really heal. It took him a while to trust me, but now that he does, we are forever connected. “
Mark Greener doesn’t even want to give Jake up anymore. “We’re always outside and Jake loves to play. I really couldn’t imagine life without him now. I’m so grateful to passers-by who found Jake. Without her he might not have survived this day. “
His trauma will likely stay with the dog for a lifetime, similar to a dog * that was tortured for months and recently rescued in Poland. “I’m sure his experience still stays with him and will always stay, but now he’s with me, we’re doing everything we can to make it a distant memory,” says Mar Greener. Without the helpful passers-by and the animal rescuers, Jake would no longer be alive today. * tz.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
