Found tied to farm machinery, rescuers were shocked to learn of this little dog's terrifying ordeal at the hands of those he believed were his family. 

"Why would a 5kg dog be left with no shelter, tied to an agricultural machine? To guard the family inheritence! Now he's so afraid he urinates every time somebody tries to touch him", explains the staff of Ekostraz rescue service. 

When this poor pup lost his owner, he was left in the garden all alone. 

All alone 

Family members came to feed him, but nobody bothered to even build him a shelter, leaving him exposed to the elements all year round.

When rescue workers found him, the family claimed he had been kept there to guard the property. But at 5kg, chained to a machine with rotten food and faeces in his water, it was very clear he needed urgent help. 

A new beginning

When they learned of his case, Ekostraz rescue didn't hesitate to take him in. Now, out of physical danger, the little dog needed to learn that humans could also be kind. They explain in their Facebook post that he arrived a tiny furry ball of fear, having been exposed to the cold, sun, and attacks from other dogs at all hours of the day. 

A report was filed documenting the abuse, and a programme of rehabilitation was put in place to help him build his trust in people and prepare him for a loving home.
