Man Chains Dog & Makes Her Suffocate By Sealing Her Snout With A Tight Cable Tie

South Australia’s RSPCA recently responded to a distress call about an 11-month-old German Shepherd named Chloe.

Chloe’s owner had tied her in the backyard in the hot sun and shut her snout with a cable tie. Some neighbors noticed the dog in distress and called for help.

The RSPCA workers found Chloe in a state of near-collapse due to suffocation. Her body was overheated and she was unable to even pant, which is the usual cooling mechanism for dogs.

The poor girl drank up a huge bowl full of water the moment she was freed. The RSPCA is now looking into the matter and asking for public help in the investigations. Spread the word.

Update: Cops have arrested a 48-year-old Mount Gambier man and charged him under South Australia’s Animal Welfare Act. The man claims that he intended to untie Chloe’s muzzle before leaving for work, but simply got “distracted” and forgot later.

Eventually, the owner was able to walk free with a good behavior bond for the sum of $200 AUD ($135 USD) for a period of 15 months.

He has been banned from owning animals for 2 years, and is ordered to pay $1600 AUD ($1083 USD) toward Chloe’s vet bill and the legal costs. Chloe has also been re-homed.

Do you think the punishment received by the owner justifies his insensitive act of cruelty? Let us know in the comments.

Lucky Elderly Man Is Greeted Every Day By A “Friend” Who Crawls Out Of The Ice:

We’ve all seen some unique and unlikely friendships over the years, but this one here may take the cake!

One day, a starving otter appeared at an elderly man’s door wanting some food. Ever since, Seppo Laamanen, 65, and Iivari the otter have been inseparable best friends.

It all started when Seppo fed worms and fish to the small and malnourished otter who was clearly looking for food.

After that, the friendly animal repaid the kindness by visiting the man at his home in Punkaharju in easter Finland. This was the start of something special.

There’s no way Seppo could’ve ever imagined it’d all lead to this. This adorably unique friendship is one for the ages, and it’s something you have to see to believe.

There’s nothing like the bond between two friends regardless of the species! 🙂

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.

3) Skye Terrier

Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle

This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. 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.

5) Shar-Pei

This wrinkly non-sporting breed is standoffish to strangers but very loyal to his owner. His ancient Chinese roots are part of the charm of the Shar-Pei. Regal, strong, and smart, if you want a BFF for life, this loose-skinned pooch may be the right choice for you.
