NathanAs pet owners, it is our rightful duty to protect and keep pets out of harm’s way. They rely on us to feed them, love them and take care of them. Do you think you could ever put your pets in danger? This story is about a dog that had been tied up, unable to move about, so much so that vultures began to hover around her. Do you think the dog made it or do you think she fell into the unmerciful clutches of these predators?
Confinement
Would you free a dog if you know that it has been caged and bound? Would you intervene if you are sure that it has been abandoned and left to die? Well, Little Lilo, the pit bull had been chained to a tree. She was left by her owners to stay out in the very cold weather. She did not have anyone to spend time with, using up her days trapped inside a plastic shelter they kept her in. The dog does not seem to even growl or show signs of complaining.
Vultures Arrive
So if you have left a helpless pet outside for too long, something is bound to go wrong. Something did go wrong when the little pit bull had been staying outside for some time. An alarming number of vultures turned up near her doghouse. Maybe there was a vulture nest located close to the doghouse. We all know that vultures feed on their prey mercilessly. So what was going to happen to Lilo? Do you suppose she made it alive?
In North Carolina
The little dog had been kept like this unattended for so long that it was starting to summon attention from the neighbors. So by the December of 2014, the wardens from Guilford County Animal Control in Greensboro, North Carolina had been informed about the poor dog. The locals became a bit worried since the dog was obviously not in a safe situation.
Contacting Authorities
The authorities were called since there were more and more people who saw that the little dog was not getting a proper treatment that a pet is supposed to get from their owners. So the local residents informed the workers that the pup had remained tied to a tree for a very long time now. They also added that it was kept in a plastic doghouse that she used as a shelter.
Not A Good Sight
So when the animal facility had been informed about poor Lilo’s state, they quickly grew concerned as well. , The state that the poor dog was in sounded really awful. But that was not all. There was another thing that was very dangerous present at the spot where the dog was trapped in. It was something that was truly terrifying and would cause any sane person to call for help.
Vultures On Duty
The locals had already placed a call explaining just how badly the dog had remained neglected by her owners. It was already a concern for her well being. But the people also informed the authorities that there was a flock of vultures that had decided to loiter near the dog. It was clear that the birds were waiting for the poor dog to wither away so that they can devour her carcass.
