This sad life went on for an entire year. Until finally, the Orangutan Information Centre (OIC) heard about Mingky.
They contacted wildlife authorities telling them that Mingky was being held illegally.

The authorities and OIC went to pick up Mingky. He was finally cut him free from the short chain.
Despite holding Mingky illegally, his owner was still not arrested. How despicable!
And because of the way Mingky was treated, he was antisocial and aggressive. He didn’t trust humans one bit. And who can blame him?!

Now while living at the OIC sanctuary, Mingky is making tremendous strides. He’s beginning to understand that he is okay, that he will be fed daily, and that humans are no longer the enemy.
He is being kept in a large enclosure with little human contact so he will be able to transition back into the wild one day.

While it is frustrating that Mingky’s abusive owner wasn’t punished, we are happy to know that Mingky is now safe and will never live a cruel life like that again.

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet
Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.
While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.
These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.
1) Akita
When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.
