When the war in Ukraine started, and people started to flee the country to safety, there were many pets left behind due to the sheer danger and destruction.
The Love Furry Friends – Rescue Channel on YouTube shares the story of an abandoned pit bull who was left starving on a heavy chain that was injuring his neck. This poor dog was pleading for someone to help him.
When someone notified this animal rescue team about a pit bull who was left in an evacuated village in Ukraine, they knew they had to step in and find him a decent home. In the footage, you can see that the dog is very happy to see someone approach him on the other side of the fence where he had been residing. His tail immediately starts to wag.
He had been left without any food or water and the thick and weighty chain that was around his neck wasn’t even attached to a collar, so it had created a wound.
One of the first things the animal rescue team did was give the dog a bowl of food. They didn’t know the last time he had eaten anything and, as you can see in the footage, he gobbled up every last bite.
After he had his food, they unhooked his chain from the muddy ground where he had been chained for who knows how long, and took him home for some love and care.

When they got him home, they gave him what could have been his first bath. In the footage, you can see how brown the water is from spending all of that time outdoors alone.
