Once chained and suffering from a painful ulcerated tumor, Chompito endured neglect from his uncaring owner. Despite his conditions, the loyal dog stayed steadfastly by his master’s side, even when our rescue efforts came into play.

Unlike his owner, who disregarded him without a second thought, we recognized Chompito’s plight and were determined to help.

As his owner callously remarked, “Remove the dog, the tumor’s repulsive,” we made it our mission to care for Chompito, starting with the basics: food.

As his owner callously remarked,

He ravenously devoured the meal we offered, leaving us to wonder just how long he’d been starved of basic care and compassion.

Our visit to the veterinarian revealed the severity of his condition; the tumor was a critical, malignant mass that demanded immediate intervention. Although initially frightened, Chompito eventually submitted to a two-hour surgery.

The next day, we noticed a positive change; he seemed lighter, his trust in us growing steadily even though we knew his emotional healing would take time.
