A man is standing on the bank of a river when he suddenly sees something strange. It’s a lot far away, but when he gets close he has to call for help.
A person always feels the need to relax and take a walk. There are many places in the world that are able to meet our needs. Some prefer to walk by the sea, others in the city center. But we can even find people who like to stroll along the banks of a river or a lake. It is usually nothing to worry about, but some places, especially if they are centered in forests and where there is a lot of open space, can be inhabited by many predators. So it is important to pay attention and stay there safely.
A similar case can be found in today’s date. The protagonist is a man found along the banks of a river. At one point, he sees a strange object along the beach, and in fact comes closer to better understanding what it is. Once he’s really close and understands what’s going on around him, he doesn’t hesitate even for a moment to ask for help. It is a situation he cannot handle alone. But let’s try to understand together what happened.
The man noticed something strange along the river
A man named Jim, who lives in the United States, decides to spend a different day than usual. He goes to a place not far from his home to go for a walk, because he likes to be in nature. He continues walking, until he reaches a river and laughs at how pleasant it is to breathe completely normal air. Even the chirping of birds amused him. But something really strange is about to happen, when he is about to approach the bank of a river, known as Shadow.
It’s not very close so can’t tell exactly what it is. So he decided to get closer and find out what he is hiding today. However, Jim feels as if something is holding him back, for some reason he worries that there might be some beavers, who have already needed help before.. Intuition did not make him quite wrong, in fact it was not a beaver at all, but a dog with its head and half of its body covered, with only its tail sticking out.
In the upper part it is completely covered with rather sticky mud. The dog is strange and fearful, making unusual noises and barking at anyone who tries to get close. He has no clue how to help anyone yet. The dog feels the pain, the inability to move, and absolutely does not want to be touched.
Jim has to ask for help, he can’t do it all alone. Call some lifeguards who will arrive as soon as possible. Once the rescuers arrive, they don’t know how to take the dog away because it is aggressive and has even tried to bite them. Eventually people moved away from the dog’s head to escape its bites and to be safer.
all’s well That ends well
They have to make the rescue work, so one of them has the idea of taking a rope and tying it tightly around his body. They have tried to pull him for several people as he is too heavy to do it alone but as the rope tries to climb up the dog hasn’t moved an inch. He’s stuck inside.
Finally, the animal got out of the water and they helped it settle on land. Rescuers put him on the ground, not moving, barely breathing.
He is very scared and exhausted. However, the problems did not end there. Rescuers immediately took him to the nearest vet and after seeing him carefully, they found no serious injuries. Everyone took care to dry him and keep him warm. All rescuers call him a bear, because his coat is long and fluffy.
But the dog’s behavior was unpredictable, in fact he managed to bite even one of the rescuers. Without realizing that this is the only way to get help, they take him to a specialized veterinary center for a more thorough examination.
Once the doctors arrived, they confirmed that the dog was 8 years old and obese. They also discover that its owner may have outgrown the food. And why does he do that? After reflecting on their various experiences, the men have to make the final decision about the dog’s fate.
The solution is to send him to the city dog shelter. But there will be another place In Oklahoma it is much quieterCharity and unfounded rescue of animals that are now lost.
They decide to take him there, so he can find a new owner. However, his adventure isn’t over yet, because since he bit one of the lifeguards, the local law says so The dog spends days in a special quarantine. He was also given painkillers to treat cuts and bruises. Days pass and it seems that the dog has learned its lesson or rather, appearances are deceiving, if it has certain behaviors, it may be that at that moment it was very afraid and it reacted like this.
