Undoubtedly, our furry companions display an unwavering commitment and love towards their owners. A recent incident highlights the immense loyalty of a dog who selflessly sacrificed his life to save his family. The incident took place in Merauke, Indonesia when Achy Wijaya found his beloved dog in a near-death state in their yard. He had heard the dog barking the previous night.
NtdNews reported that Achy was deeply saddened to discover that his canine was intentionally poisoned. Achy shared on his Facebook profile that his furry companion kept barking, deterring the burglars from robbing their house. However, Achy revealed that they found out about the poisoning when they left their home in the morning and discovered their loyal hound’s fate.
Based on the tragic circumstances recounted, the family reported that they were fast asleep when a group of burglars intruded into their home. Their loyal dog began barking frenziedly, but the noise was disregarded as they assumed the canine had spotted their pet cat. To their dismay, the dog’s barks suddenly ceased, and the next day, they found it lying motionless and barely breathing – having vomited and frothed at the mouth, indicating it had been poisoned. “We wanted to take our beloved pet to the vet, but we reside in Papua where the only available veterinarian mainly attends to cattle. Furthermore, it being a Sunday, the clinic was shut,” lamented Achy. The family attempted to revive their furry friend by giving it milk, oil, and coconut milk, but it was too weak and eventually passed away.
As Achy mourned the loss of his beloved dog who sacrificed himself to save his family, he decided to film the dog’s final moments as a tribute to his heroism. He also wanted to use the video as a cautionary tale for other pet owners, urging them to take heed when their dogs bark.
‘Hot and lethargic’ dogs found under tarp in US with surrender note
Authorities in the US state of Indiana, are asking for public help and cooperation after finding two dogs inside a cage under a tarp without water.
According to Police Department, the dogs were found in a street in the town of Connersville, about 120kms south-east of Indianapolis
They were “hot and lethargic” inside the cage due to heat and lack of air flow, officers said.
The animals had also defecated inside the crate and were confined in a very small area, where movement was nearly impossible, police said.
The owners left a note to “surrender” the dogs to whoever found them and left a bag of dog food and small amount of water in the cage, according to police.
The dogs, named Kilo and Rosco, were handed to a local animals shelter, despite it already being over capacity.
The Connersville Police Department asked anyone with interest in adopting the dogs or any other pets to contact the Fayette County Animal Shelter.
