Audra Petraškienė experienced a disturbing incident on her ride through a small town in Lithuania last Friday.

Audra became aware of a trembling canine that was soaking wet and had a hefty metal weight attached to its collar.

After rescuing the helpless pup, she brought it back to her place and shared on her Facebook about the terrible incident where it was nearly drowned.

The content became an instant hit online as individuals were taken aback by the cruel act towards the innocent dog.

Fortunately, the little dog seems to be in good condition.

Audra, being proactive, made the decision to report the incident to the authorities.

Before long, the owner was located. Nonetheless, it is still unknown who was responsible for harming the dog and whether the owner could have taken measures to prevent it.

Audra made the decision to temporarily place her furry friend in the care of an animal shelter until the matter at hand has been resolved.
