The story of a dog tied to an iron chain in a house littered with garbage following the death of its owner is a sad story.
On the 12th, ‘helpshelter’, an abandoned animal shelter under Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, posted on the official Instagram, “I was admitted due to the death of the owner. He is a mixed dog, weighs 6.2 kg, and is estimated to be 7 years old.” They also posted photos of the rescue site.
The dog was found in a room littered with litter, blankets, clothes and other debris. He was tied with a thick wire.
The house had mold growing all over the floor, as if it had been untouched for a long time. There were even traces of the dog’s feces.
