A puppy was tied to an electric pole and abandoned in full sun in Guanabacoa, Havana, until a woman rescued it this Tuesday after finding it dehydrated and almost strangled with a nylon rope.
A person named Naiviv D'Sifonte reported on Facebook that they discovered the animal early in the morning, near the dental clinic Yuri Gómez.
The person who rescued the animal asked several neighbors, but no one knew who the dog belonged to, which had remained under the scorching sun for at least five hours.
Finally, D'Sifonte decided to take him to his house, but first a neighbor gave him water that the dog drank eagerly.
Now he has it in his home while waiting for the owner to show up and prove with photos that it is his pet.
"Maybe it escaped from home and someone tied it there so it wouldn't walk anymore and get run over. I want to think that's how it happened," expressed hopefully the person who rescued the animal.
Reports of abandoned dogs left to their fate are becoming frequent on social media. In the best cases, they find compassionate hands that provide them with food and shelter.
In July, an internet user reported that a dog was abandoned at a bus stop in Havana, where it was left tied to a fence with a collar and its name written on a piece of cardboard; the animal was rescued and they are now looking for someone to adopt it.
"This little dog was abandoned on Saturday morning with its collar, its name, and everything. They tied it at the stop we marked in green," explained Raisa Pérez Villaverde in the Facebook group "SOS Callejeros Cuba."
