Unbreakable Spirit, Unbreakable Bond: The Story of An Abused Dog. Barabas, SOSD (tissue warning)




Published on Jul 13, 2014
Barabas was a senior dog who was sent to be put to sleep, after he was abused by his owner, then developed a huge maggot wound which covered half his face.

Through fate, SOSD came to rescue him, and I came to foster him. A supposed few days stay at my place developed into a 2 year relationship - one which is unbreakable and unconditional; one which I will never forget, and one which touched the hearts of thousands of people.

A pet is for life - not a piece of garbage which can be discarded when they are in need of us the most. SOSD is a animal welfare charity which fosters positive interactions between animals and humans. We rescue 30 stray and abandoned dogs a month, finding them homes.

that refuses to yield though old and ruined,

Be as a god that never cries,
or as a devil that never prays,
or as the oak whose mighty canopy,
needs of water but does not beg it.

How anyone could abuse an animal (or a child) like that is beyond understanding. So glad that they gave him some time getting to know that all people are not sadistic SOB's like the original owner. Nice dog, beautiful eyes. Thanks to all the volunteers who showed him love.
