Man Saves A Bull Mastiff Who Was Buried In Dirt And Left To Die

The owner didn’t want his dog, a French Mastiff anymore, then he found the foremost inhumane, unconscionable and easiest method to urge obviate her. He buried her alive in mud and stones, and then waited to die.



The problem was the 10-year old Mastiff wasn't able to die. She was struggling to remain alive in her “grave,” hoping someone would spot and save her from certain death. Luckily, animal lover Pedro Dinis was walking his own dog, a pit bull, through the empty lot where the Mastiff was buried. He noticed something protruding from the soil, and when his bulldog reacted, he stopped to look better.




What he saw shocked him. he. It had been a dog’s head barely visible in the mound of dirt. Noticing that the dog was still alive, Pedro and his dog quickly got into action to save lots of the mastiff. The Mastiff, which Pedro named “Athena (after the Greek Goddess of War) had managed to free her head presumably because she was buried pretty shallow within the building site . As Pedro acknowledged while digging to rescue the dog, Athena wasn’t ready to fully free herself because she was anchored into the bottom by her leash which was tied to an important bag of rocks.

 



The owner had obviously wanted to form sure his dog didn't shake the hell hole! Pedro found that the mastiff was covered in mud, weak and dehydrated, indicating that she must have been buried a few hours ago. This is what happened in the right place, and therefore at the right time. Athena stayed calm, possibly due to Hell bull’s presence, as Pedro carefully removed the dirt and stones to free the Mastiff from her would-be grave.




“Only her head was visible and it had been difficult to ascertain given the quantity of earth covering her,” Pedro wrote on Facebook, adding that he was “in the proper place at the proper time to save lots of a life.” Pedro didn’t want to harm or panic Athena by employing a shovel, so used his hands to scoop away the dirt. When he tried to rescue her, he had to feed Athena a lot of water in order to hydrate her.



Finally, Athena was free! But she was too weak to manipulate. Pedro took her to a veterinary clinic where she was treated for shock and dehydration with intravenous fluids.


The veterinarian also found that there are enough signs that Athena, who suffers from arthritis, has been abused throughout her life. After treatment, Athena was taken in by the animal rescue SOS Dogue De Bordeaux. In the months since her rescue, Athena was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Delfosse, the founders of the rescue where she found comfort and happiness, pending the court case against the owner.


 



Since Athena has a permanent identity certificate, the authorities are ready to track down her owner. Not long after her owner lived on a construction site in Paris, the dog was buried alive there. The dog’s owner, a 21-year-old Frenchman, tried to urge off the hook by claiming that his dog had run away and denied any knowledge of what happened to his dog.



With Athena’s story capturing the minds of social media followers, who petitioned for max sentencing of two years in prison also as about $33,000 in fine be imposed on the owner for cruelty to animals, the French court banned the Frenchman from owning a dog for five years, fined $33,000 and given an 8-month suspended prison sentence.


As for dog’s savior, Pedro said he shared the photos of Athena’s rescue to boost awareness about animal cruelty.




A few months after the owner was convicted, Athena gave up the ghost peacefully under the loving care of her adoptive family.

        They should have buried the previous owner alive and left for dead. Actually, fetch the guillotine.
