In the Unites States, dogs are not just considered pets, but are loyal members of the family. In other parts of the world, however, dogs are considered pests and are treated with little to no compassion.
Paris has spent his entire life wandering the streets of Karditsa, Greece as a stray dog, but as a puppy, he was also the victim of a cruel abuse that would only get worse as he got older. When Paris was just a tiny puppy, someone had wrapped wire snugly around his neck, and as he got older and grew, the wire became more and more restrictive.
Eventually, the wire dug into his skin so much, that there was a solid ring of an open wound around Paris’ neck, and by the time rescuers from the Greek Animal Rescue (GAR) organization found him, the wire had dug a hole in his trachea, which made it impossible for him to eat.
Paris was understandably terrified of humans, but they managed to capture him and rush him to the vet. The wire was immediately taken off, but they had to heal the infection before finally being able to operate and closing the hole in his neck.
“When he finally received his surgery, he felt less pain and started to eat…and eat. The dog that was little more than “skin and bones” gained 20 kilos in a matter of months,” the rescue team wrote.
