A recent incident in Ireland has shaken netizens in general and dog and cat lovers. volatile, despite being tightly chained to a metal fence, the 2-year-old mother dog still protected and cared for her newborn cubs despite extremely unfavorable conditions.
According to the Irish Times, the mother dog and her cubs were without food and water for several days. Fortunately, a passerby discovered them in a field next to the small town of Elphin and promptly intervened.This person then promptly called for help so that the mother dog and her cubs were taken to a veterinary clinic belonging to the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) for timely treatment.
Some rescuers assessed that they were abandoned shortly after the mother dog gave birth. But how long the dogs were trapped remains a mystery. The management of the ISPCA center assessed that the act of leaving a pregnant mother dog chained up was inhumane and could completely kill her due to the risk of lacking food and water for many days. According to this person, at the time of rescuing the dogs, the climate was quite cold and it rained continuously, so bad consequences could happen if there was no quick help.
The mother dog and her cubs were taken to the ISPCA national animal center in Longford district for emergency treatment. Subsequent results show that they were not at any significant disadvantage, except for having to starve for too long in the lonely fields.
When the ISPCA posted on Facebook the image of a mother dog protecting her young puppies, viewers left many comments. One reviewer said: “It’s incomprehensible that the owner could be so thoughtful as to throw them away in the cold. The mother dog is so pitiful as she has to protect her little puppies. It’s touching to see the love of fellow human beings they.”
Another person commented: “We need to have stricter sanctions against those who abuse animals and commit cruel acts against them. Pet neglect cases like this are too terrible and needs to be stopped soon.”
Because the owner could not be found, the rescuers named the mother dog Emmy Lou. The litter of six puppies are named Billy Ray, Dixie, Dolly, Dotty, June and Patsy. They will stay with the ISPCA until they find an adopter. According to WHO data, only about 10% of stray dogs are brought to animal rescue care centers each year. Apparently, Emmy Lou and her children were so lucky to be rescued by a kind pedestrian.
