I am reaching out to all animal lovers across the globe to help
rescue this dog in distress. This poor canine was locked on the roof by owners
who did not want him in their life anymore. As you can see in the video
attached to the petition, the dog was also left without food and water for what
seems to be weeks. The pooch can barely stand up on his own feet. At the
beginning of the clip, the dog collapses to the ground while walking; after a
few seconds, he gets up and searches yet again for food, only barely able to
keep it together and not fall once again.
The disturbing video was taken by a concerned neighbor and posted on
social media, where it drew widespread criticism.
The dog is situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The full address (in Portuguese) goes as follows:
ALVARENGA PEIXOTO, VIGÃRIO GERAL, RIO DE JANEIRO
If they did not want to keep the dog, the owners could have asked
friends or family if they were keen on adopting the pet or could have surrendered
the canine to a local animal shelter. There is simply no excuse for what they
did!
The dog needs immediate rescue, his life is in danger! It is
imperative we act fast. We also demand that the cruel owners are charged with
cruelty to animals and held accountable for all the suffering they have caused
to their pet dog.
