Security cameras, in the video below, play out a soul-crushing tale involving an innocent dog and his callous owner. The cameras captured a black car headed down a cobblestone road.
The car pulls over and the driver, who appears to be an ordinary clean-cut man, gets out and looks around. He then proceeds to open the other car door and pull his dog out. The dog just sits there confused.
Then the dog watches as his owner gets back in the car and prepares to drive away. His poor doggy heart breaks. He cries out for his owner but his hind legs are paralyzed and he cannot go after him.
The poor dog is overwhelmed and lost and even though he can hardly move, he still attempts to crawl after the car that speeds away.

The devastated dog is thoroughly confused. He doesn’t know where he is or why he’s even there in the first place. He’s been dumped and it’s a devastating thing to witness.
Once the car is gone, the dog lies down. He is exhausted and has no idea what to do with himself. But then he gets up and scoots his little body down the street, hoping to find his owner.

Thankfully a rescue group got hold of the footage and tracked the dog down. It took them four days to find him but they did! They then sent the footage to the police so they could press charges against the owner.
The poor dog is in terrible shape. He pants uncontrollably from being exposed to the elements and having nothing to drink.

The rescuers put the dog in their vehicle and give him a new name: Chora. It’s now time to head to the vet clinic. Chora gets a full workup and the vet determines that his spine is fractured and it will require surgery.
The rescue group uses donations to pay for his medical expenses. They understand that he needs surgery, despite how expensive it is, in order to live a better life.

Chora is finally loved and accepted. He’s healing nicely and has even taken his first steps! Thanks to rehabilitation, acupuncture and loads of TLC, Chora will be healthy enough to go to a new forever home where he will be treated like the king he is.

10 of the Smartest Dogs in the World:
A friend of mine has a beautiful Dalmatian. Friendly, energetic and lovable, she was a perfect family pet… but she wasn’t the smartest pooch on the planet. See, she knew how to go through the pet door out into the garden, but she had no clue how to get back inside. It never occurred to her that the flap could swing both ways. So she would sit outside and howl until my friend would open the door.
Repeated demonstrations of the dual movement of the flap had no effect; it just did not compute. The dog breeds on this list, however, probably don’t have that problem. They’re widely considered to be among the cleverest canines in the world. Take a look and see if you agree.
1. German Shepherd

No surprise here. German Shepherds are the world’s best police dogs, military dogs, and some have even been movie stars (remember Rin Tin Tin?). Brave, loyal, smart and strong, they’re the total package.
2. Beagle
Also on the list of the best family-friendly dogs in the world, the Beagle has an incredible nose that lets them sniff out just about anything. Born detectives, they’re not the most trainable pets, but they are smart. And hey, nobody ever accused Snoopy of being dumb.
3. Golden Retriever
A popular choice for assistance dogs for their easy temperament, natural intelligence and loyalty, Golden Retrievers are natural guides and also serve as great rescue dogs. Active and fun to be around, they’re wonderful family pets.
4. Border Collie

Border Collies are considered by many to be the geniuses of the dog world. Expert herders, laser-focused (they’re known for their intense stare), and incredibly agile to boot, they’re workaholics and excellent athletes. Just don’t expect to keep one cooped up in an apartment.
5. Poodle
Did you know poodles were originally hunting dogs? They respond very well to training and are quick to learn tricks. So don’t let the fluffy looks and styled mane fool you! These dogs are among the smart canines around. Plus, they’re among the best dogs in the world for those who suffer allergies.
6. Belgian Malinois
A terrific military dog, the Malinois is a natural herder, tracker and worker. Smart, trainable and protective, these dogs require an owner who knows what he or she is doing. In addition to the military, Malinois are often recruited as guard dogs and police dogs as well.
7. Papillon

Named for their butterfly-shaped ears, papillons are small, cute and pretty smart. They’re considered the smartest of the toy dog breed, with intelligence levels comparable to the über-smart border collie. They’re alert and focused pets, and loyal and lovable: an ideal friend for he family.
8. Doberman
Sadly, Dobermans are known more for their ferocity than their smarts, but these are considered among the most intelligent dogs in the world, as well as one of the most effective guard dogs around. They’re outstanding students known to be affectionate and obedient.
9. Bloodhound

Don’t let the wrinkles and dopey expression fool you! Bloodhounds have the keenest of noses, and are often used for trailing (so much so that their evidence can be used in court against you!). These are loving but strong-willed dogs, and are often used on search and rescue missions.
10. Australian Cattle Dog

You need a smart, determined and energetic dog to control unruly cows. And that’s just what the Australian Cattle Dog, or ACD, does. They’re intelligent enough to herd these much larger creatures, and while they need their independence and wide open spaces, they’re eager workers who know how to get the job done.
