It is not an uncommon issue for dogs to be slaughtered for their food, especially in Asia. Consuming it is traced back to its cultural reference or consumed for its medicinal benefits. Although studies have proven otherwise regarding how beneficial dog meat is for the body, it has become a tradition that Westerners are trying heavily to influence the ban on this act.
Sanie, a four-month-old puppy, was next in line to be killed. She has seen the horrors of brutally beating and butchering other dogs before her. She heard the howls and yelps of pain, trying to obtain the attention of someone who could help them, but no one came. She was cowering in the corner of her cage and continuously shaking as the moment of her death seemed to come close.
However, a ray of hope presented itself when Michael Chour lent his hand and saved her.
Chour founded “The Sound of Animals,” a group dedicated to saving dogs traded in numerous slaughterhouses in Cambodia. Chour arrived at the slaughterhouse and saw Sanie and two other dogs. He tried to convince the owner to relieve the three dogs in his care, but the owner persisted in saying no as he said that the dogs were already sold. However, the owner stated that Chour could take Sanie.
Chour saw Sanie in her most vulnerable state—afraid, petrified, and shaking. He said, “But I made her smell my hand and slowly approached her.” He slowly crept into her cage and started gaining her trust.
Gently, Chour touched Sanie’s head. Only to discover that the gesture would stun her and immediately freeze her. Sanie probably thought that he would kill her. But Chour was extremely patient with her. He kept repeating that Sanie was safe with her, and when Chour felt it was time, he put his hand beneath her belly, which Sanie allowed, and Choir took her into his arms.
Chour immediately took Sanie to a veterinarian. When he tried putting the dog on the floor for an examination, the dog never let go of Chour’s arms.
Chour firmly believes that Sannie was once a part of a loving family. However, he was taken and sold to the slaughterhouse where He had seen him. He thinks that finding Sannie’s prior family would be a struggle. Still, he promises that as long as Sanie is protected, he will take care of him and eventually find a new family where Sanie will be cherished.
After a thorough check-up with a vet, Chour took Sanie to Blue Dream, his group shelter. Chour said, “I have a friend named Bear for her there.” He added, “He’s a slaughterhouse rescue and will teach her love and trust.”
Chour hopes that Sanie will be adopted soon so that she can feel the goodness that the world has to offer. Despite her tragic beginning, she deserves a family that will appreciate her affectionate nature.
