It took animal protection officers at a veterinary center in Argentina five hours to remove the black plastic from a dog's fur after it was found covered in tar.
The dog was seen by residents miserable crawling up from a hole in the town of Monte Chingolo, Argentina. Soon after, they called the area's veterinary center to rescue the poor animal.
The asphalt covering its body made the dog almost motionless.
Here, the staff placed the dog in the tub and searched for every possible way to remove the thick black plastic clinging to it. Finally, after 5 hours of bathing, this poor "little friend" was somewhat able to move freely. Because the asphalt sticks so firmly, the staff must use up to 5 liters of oil to remove the plastic layer from the fur.
It took the staff 5 hours and 5 liters of oil to remove the asphalt.
After being bathed, Petro - the dog's new name, was fed, enthusiastically cared for and healthy by the staff every day. However, according to Myriam Ortellado, an employee here said the dog's health could be seriously affected due to the amount of plastic and oil it swallowed.

Myriam also said that Petro may have been thrown into the asphalt pit by someone rather than accidentally falling in. However, who did it and the cause of this incident is still under investigation.
