“A street dog in Udaipur, India, was found trapped in a drum of tar where we believe she had stuck and completely unable to move for several days,” explains Animal Aid Unlimited.
“We think she may have gone inside the drum to get warm during the night, and that her own body heat started to melt the tar which she then sank into and was unable to free herself from,” they write. “When we found her she was no longer struggling and seemed to have completely given up all hope.”
