The video you’re about to watch is graphic. Luckily, the ending to this story is happy and heartwarming…so just remember that!

A 5 month-old puppy had fallen into a pool of hot tar in India that engulfed his body and made it rock solid. Completely stuck to the ground, the dog was unable to move and was hopeless until a passerby noticed his struggle.

The kind stranger acted quickly, calling the United Animal Aid hotline, who then sent rescue workers to help the poor pup. After 3 hours of gently massaging vegetable oil into the thick layer of tar that trapped the sweet boy, the volunteers were amazed at what they saw – and you will be too. Such an incredible transformation!

It never ceases to amaze me how incredible the impact can be when people work together for a common cause…especially when that cause is helping save the life of an innocent dog. What did you think of this transformation?
