Father and Son Team Rescue Dog Left in Tar Pit to Die (Warning: A couple photos might be upsetting)



A father and son team are heroes today. The pair came across a poor dog stuck in a pit of Tarmac, or a tar pit if you will, and was apparently left to die. The pair happened upon the dog on accident, but were glad that they could help save a life.The pair came across the dog just outside of the city of Antofagasta, in northern Chile. Jhonny Alquinta and his son Jhonny Carrizo happened to be walking past the pit when they could hear a strange commotion going on. They went over to where it was coming from to see a trapped, and very scared dog, completely covered in sticky tar, stuck in the pit.The two were horrified t what they saw. The dog was trying desperately to keep her head above the bubbling ooze, struggling with every last bit of effort possible. They sprang into action, thinking that they would do anything and everything to get the out of there and to safety.It was no easy task getting the dog freed from the tar pit. In an interview given to local news outlets, the young boy’s aunt told of what the rescuers went through trying to save the dog.
