Birobidzhan, Russia - October 21, 2024

This is the moment rescuers save a dog named Gera that has an iron carabiner stuck in her paw. The rescue took place in the town of Birobidzhan, in the Jewish Autonomous Region, in Russia, on Monday, 21st October.

The footage shows the emergency team carefully helping a distressed dog whose paw is trapped by the iron carabiner.

The team works carefully to remove the metal object from the dog's paw to ensure that the poor hound does not get too stressed during the operation to remove it. In just a few seconds, they manage to remove the carabiner, though it remains unclear how it became fixed in the paw with online commentators suggesting it was deliberate in order to keep the dog stuck in the same place. They pointed out that the carabiner was attached to a chain that was fixed into the ground as proof of the cruel act.
