The leash prevented him from seeking any form of shelter. His owners, seemingly unaware or indifferent, stayed warm inside, oblivious to Nakiyu’s plight outside.
Seeing Nakiyu’s dire situation, the couple knocked repeatedly on the door of the house, but no one answered, despite lights being visible through the windows.
Understanding the urgency, they took matters into their own hands. After multiple unsuccessful efforts to release Nakiyu, the husband decided to purchase metal cutters to free him.
Once they managed to liberate Nakiyu, they rushed him to a veterinarian. The vet was taken aback by Nakiyu’s condition—it was shocking that he wasn’t a stray.
Nakiyu was crawling with ticks, appeared malnourished, and bore injuries from neglect. His fur was in poor condition, and he had open wounds.
The prolonged exposure to cold had left him anemic and suffering from hypothermia, requiring immediate medical attention.
Although Nakiyu’s story began with negligence, it ultimately highlighted the kindness and intervention of strangers who chose to act rather than turn a blind eye.
Such actions emphasize the importance of treating pets as sentient beings deserving of love and care.
