Being an animal rescuer is incredibly challenging. It’s not just about saving animals; it’s about dealing with the heartbreak of witnessing the cruelty inflicted on them. Many times, the dogs they rescue are suffering from hunger, thirst, and minor injuries. Other times, the animals are in severe pain, desperately needing help.
A Dog with a Chubby Face
One such heart-wrenching story involves a dog whose face was unnaturally chubby because of a tight chain around his neck. The sight of this poor dog will break your heart.
While driving along a road in California, a volunteer from R.A.D. Rescue noticed a dog with an unusually chubby face. Curiosity and concern made her stop to investigate. As she approached, she saw the dog’s head was swollen due to a tight chain around his neck. This was a clear sign of animal cruelty.

A Heartbreaking Sight
Seeing this poor dog in such a state was truly devastating. He hadn’t done anything to deserve such treatment. Realizing the dog needed immediate help, the volunteer used some chicken to lure him into her car.
A Journey to Recovery
The volunteer named the dog Chunk the Hunk and took him to the nearest veterinarian clinic in California for a thorough checkup. Despite being in pain, Chunk seemed to enjoy the car ride.
Fortunately, the vet determined that Chunk’s swollen head was treatable and that he would recover with proper care. It’s incredible how quickly Chunk began to heal.
