Rescuers explained when they pulled the dog from the tar they believe she was intentionally put there. The dirty dog was rushed to a pet clinic where vets began washing away the black sticky mess. They said he was hungry and dehydrated.

One of the vets that took care of the dog, Lissy Alvarado Gamez, the magister who owns Puppies Vet City of Antofagasta, Chile told IndieEdition.com: “The truth is that this case moved us much, but it is not the only one that has shaken us."

Her new family has sent the vets photos and Gamez said: “She has a face of happiness that is our best pay.”
