Rescuers Spot Puppy Tied To Pole — Then Discover The Heartbreaking Reason Why

Every day, experienced volunteers at Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue in the United Kingdom respond to emergency calls from people worried about animals in the area. Recently, rescuers started receiving numerous messages about a dog who’d been spotted lying face down in a mossy ditch nearby.

In no time, a group of water rescue volunteers were on their way.

The speedy team got to the ditch in 20 minutes. But when they arrived, rescuers realized things were not as they seemed.

It turns out, this dog didn’t need rescuing — because it wasn’t a dog at all.
