In the heat of the day, three little puppies fell into a pit of freshly poured road tar. As the scorching tar cooled, it mercilessly constricted their tiny bodies, restricting their movements to futile squirms.


Trapped and rendered motionless, these helpless creatures were on the brink of perishing from dehydration.

The situation was dire and their prospects seemed grim; without intervention, their desperate attempts to wriggle free from the sticky grip of the tar would prove futile, and they would meet a sad end. Luckily, fate intervened in the form of a rescue team.

At Animal Aid, we had encountered such incidents before, termed 'tar babies', and as soon as the puppies arrived, we swiftly initiated our emergency protocol.


A team of dedicated volunteers sprang into action, commencing the painstaking task of carefully bathing the terrified puppies in cooking oil. This safe solvent would gradually dissolve the hardened tar and liberate their trapped bodies.

The little ones were visibly anxious, and their innocent eyes shone with distress. Throughout this time, compassion was the cornerstone of our approach.

We frequently administered water through a syringe and provided them with nourishing food. Starved from their ordeal, they welcomed these sustenance breaks amidst their long, grueling baths.


The arduous process required frequent changes of the blackened oil, and as the day wore on, the puppies grew visibly tired.

By the time nightfall draped the sky in a cloak of stars, the weary pups needed rest. Though we had made progress, hours more of careful tar removal awaited us the following day.


As the sun rose on Day 2, we resumed our painstaking mission. Encouragingly, the fruits of our labor began to appear. Patches of clean, soft fur emerged, a promising sign of the transformation to come.

Their resilience and our unyielding efforts were starting to pay off. The sight of their gleaming progress brought a spark of hope into our hearts.


By Day 3, the puppies were almost unrecognizable. Now, free from the sticky prison of tar, Bingo, Checkers, and Parcheesi proudly displayed their shiny, clean fur.

Their previously terrified eyes now shone with a youthful zest for life. The three little survivors were once again playful and energetic, a testament to their incredible journey of survival.


Their miraculous transformation was made possible by our dedicated community of supporters. Thanks to your kindness, we had the means to provide these pups with the life-saving care they needed.

Together, we turned a dire situation into hundreds of joyous smiles and made a tangible difference in these young lives.
