These are some of the saddest and most shocking stories. We are talking about those poor and unkempt animals that have been cared for and cared for for years to the point of being seen alive because of their matted coats. Every few years or so, we will read about them and pray that this is the last time we see this happen. It never is.
This time it’s the story of Pυtam County in New York, where Chief Keп Ross received a call from his wife to report that he was in need of his neighbor’s dog. Ross, who is also the founder of the local SPCA, and other officers visited the residence identified in the call and asked the owner if they could see his dog.
Since founding the Pittsburgh County Society for the Prevention of Animal Abuse in 2010, Ross is no stranger to abused animals. In fact, I regrettably have seen a number of them hanging out there. But even he was stunned after seeing the animal, which at first glance looked nothing like a dog.
In any case, it looked like a Halloween costume for kids, similar to something more typical of a science fiction movie like The Spider That Ate Mahatta. It turned out that, after all, there really was a puppy under there, in the shape of a cat and my pet, who was trapped under more than eight pounds of thick, matted fur! It was such that it hid his eyes and most of his face, sprouting from his body to the strangers like hairy teeth. We have seen roadkill animals that seemed more salvable.
He also noted that Pierre’s fur had probably been growing out for at least 18 months. In fact, Pierre was in pain when the doctors touched his fur, so they decided to sedate him before using clippers and razors to remove the clumps of smelly fur.
“No one would think it was the same dog,” Berg acknowledged. In addition to shedding eight pounds of hair, Pierre reportedly had a bladder infection and a bruise from his lost necklace, according to Berg.
