A dog guarded owner for Ten Years, but after developing a tumor, received no treatment

Overview

The video follows the rescue of a dog named Tubby, who had been kept by her owner for 10 years to guard a fishpond. After about a year of illness, she developed a large, rapidly growing tumor that severely affected her ability to eat and care for herself, and she could no longer perform her guarding role.

Rescue and Negotiation

Rescuers were alerted after observing the owner’s neglect and reluctance to provide medical care. The owner reportedly brought home a new dog to replace Tubby and effectively admitted she was no longer useful. After negotiation, he agreed to allow Tubby to be taken for treatment the same day.

Treatment and Surgery

At the hospital, doctors determined surgery was necessary. Tubby cooperated through examinations and the operation was successful—the tumor was removed.

A week later, she was discharged and—with the owner’s consent—placed at a shelter.

Recovery and Outcome

Afterward, rescuers addressed additional complications, including swollen paws and embedded nails, and provided Tubby a safe place to recover. The video emphasizes that she regained mobility and happiness, describing her as finally being able to run and socialize.

Key Message

Pets should not be treated as tools, but as family members deserving kindness and medical care.
