A man from Khanh Hoa Province, south-central Vietnam spent VND24 million (US$1,027) rescuing 31 dogs from a slaughterhouse and is now looking for their owners.
The man, 46-year-old Do Minh Khoi from Nha Trang City, which is the provincial capital, shared the story to his Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to Khoi’s account, his two dogs were stolen while he was on a business trip in Hanoi, prompting him and his son to scour dozens of slaughterhouses between Nha Trang City and Dien Khanh District, also in Khanh Hoa Province, to find their beloved pets.
On Wednesday morning, Khoi arrived at a facility in Dien Khanh and saw dozens of dogs locked in cages, ready to be slaughtered.
He wound up buying all of them from the abattoir in order to save them.
“Many of the dogs were exhausted and lying still, while some were sticking their paws out as if they were asking me to save them,” Khoi recalled.
The man said he paid a total of VND20 million ($856) to buy the dogs and another VND4 million ($171) to transport them to his home in Nha Trang.
Khoi later posted the story on Facebook in the hope of finding each dog’s owner.
As of Thursday, two people had been reunited with their pets thanks to Khoi.
“Seeing the dogs wagging their tails when they saw their owners made me really happy,” Khoi said.
Ha Thuy Tram, 28, from Khanh Hoa’s Cam Lam District, said she lost her dog several days earlier.
Tram’s family had raised the dog for two years before it was stolen. They searched several dog meat shops and slaughterhouses in the locality after the canine disappeared.
“I discovered that my dog had been rescued after seeing Khoi’s status on Facebook, so I decided to travel all the way to Nha Trang to get my pet,” Tram said.
“I wanted to give Khoi some money to thank him for saving my dog, but he refused it.”
Khoi plans to keep the rescued canines at his home for about seven days so that their owners can come and take them home, afterward he will take the remaining dogs to a local animal rescue shelter.
“People who wish to find their lost dogs can come to my house at 30D Dong Nai Street in Phuoc Hai Ward, Nha Trang City, or call 0909473361,” Khoi said.
As of Thursday, Khoi and his family have yet to find their own lost pets.
“Miracle Pup: Six-Legged, Double-Tailed Canine Defies Expectations and Flourishes!”
In our diverse world, individuals from both the human and animal kingdom can be born with unforeseen physical abnormalities. While some are greeted with open arms and acceptance, others are subjected to unfavorable treatment and exclusion due to their distinctive traits. An exceptional puppy named Skipper, with six legs and two tails, had to overcome numerous obstacles as she was abandoned by her mother.
Meet Skipper, a delightful crossbreed of Australian Shepherd and Border Collie. She was born on February 16 in Oklahoma alongside eight other siblings, but her situation was far from typical. Unlike her healthy brothers and sisters, Skipper was born with a combination of congenital conditions that made her case a truly miraculous one. In fact, she is believed to be the first of her kind to survive with these conditions. Sadly, her mother abandoned her, but fortunately, she was taken in by Neel Veterinary Hospital where she received the care she needed. Neel Veterinary Hospital recently shared her heartwarming story on their Facebook page.
Have you ever heard of Skipper, the remarkable canine? Well, this furry friend is anything but ordinary. It turns out that Skipper’s uniqueness stems from a rare condition that resulted from her mother’s pregnancy. Vets at the hospital believe that Skipper’s unusual state was caused by an incomplete split of an egg that was supposed to develop into twins. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Despite the challenges Skipper faced early in life, she has managed to overcome them with her tenacity and the timely medical attention she received. Furthermore, Skipper has duplicate organs from her waist down, but they function correctly, ensuring that she stays healthy. All of these factors contribute to making Skipper an extraordinary and one-of-a-kind dog.
Skipper, the six-legged puppy, has been receiving a lot of love and support from people worldwide. Although some worry about her health, her caretakers have reassured everyone that she is doing great and is free from pain or discomfort. Neel Veterinary Hospital has no intention of euthanizing her as they believe that she will lead a happy and fulfilling life. They are excited to see where her journey takes her.
To keep everyone updated, the hospital has created a Facebook page dedicated to Skipper’s progress. The page has already gained over 55 thousand followers, which demonstrates the immense interest and support for Skipper and her unique story.
