Four puppies got stuck in some tar mud near the Russian city of Noyabrsk last July, but animal welfare activists heard about their plight and came to the rescue. Activists were able to dig three puppies out of the muck just in time, but, unfortunately, one of the puppies had already died before help arrived. The three surviving puppies received immediate medical attention from activists and veterinarians, who spent several days cleaning the sludge from the puppies.
It's always heartwarming to see humans working together to help animals in need. Disaster struck when one unlucky puppy fell into a freshly dug 230 foot deep well on February 5th in the Dereseki neighbourhood of the Beykoz district of Istanbul. Animal rights activists, fire fighters, municipal rescue teams and members of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) went up in arms to help with the operation.
Footage courtest of the White Lake Fire Authority shows the rescue efforts of firefighters from White Lake, Michigan treading through frozen lake water after responding to a call about a dog which had fallen through the ice about 100 yards from shore on Thursday. Three firefighters from the local fire authority came out to the icy lake and donned ice rescue suits and linked up with rope tethers before venturing out after the 14-year-old golden retriever. White Lake Fire Authority firefighters rescued the pup and a Muskegon County Animal Control Officer took the rescued dog to Pound Buddies shelter. The puppy's owner got in contact with the shelter and later retrieved his pup. The golden retriever is still dealing with some serious health issues as a result of the incident and owner plans to take him to a private veterinarian for follow-up care.
