Duke is one of those puppies with a touching and sobering story. There are many people who remember him; it has been many months since he was rescued, he has experienced terrible cruelty having gone through abandonment, hunger and pain.

This puppy had no chance of living if it had not been for the work of the people who voluntarily intervened so that today we can tell his story.
He has survived and with all his wounds he was able to give the only thing he has: love.
Being a ten-month-old puppy, he was left completely alone, abandoned and chained to an old and useless trailer on the outskirts of a village in the city of Bulgaria, under the cruelest quarantine, without food and water. How sad!

They called him “the untouchable” because he supposedly had a dangerous illness and no one should approach him, the truth is that he had been discarded by his owners with the sole intention of ending his life.
Here is a video summary of the story of Duke, the Untouchable
It had been 10 days of being there, resisting that ordeal, going hungry and cold, how much pain!

The only food he got to receive were some leftovers left by a few passersby who passed by the place, perhaps unaware of the atrocity that was being committed with this poor innocent being, the only thing he needed was a hero to rescue him. It seemed that he was destined to die.
But a woman who lived in the village, saw this little dog and realized the situation he was in and the great suffering he was suffering, he urgently needed to be taken out of that hell. She intervened to seek help by calling the charity “Rudozem Street Dog Rescue” which works with animals in need. Tony Rowles, co-founder of the rescue center, immediately came to investigate.

This little guy could not go anywhere, feces surrounded him, a strong smell of ammonia was felt, there were a lot of flies, his condition revealed malnutrition, his front paws were bent.

He relates that the experience of this encounter with Duke was very overwhelming, despite being trembling, understandably terrified, he had the strength to respond and thank kissing the first hand extended towards him and wagging his tail. He didn’t know it but from that moment on his life would be totally different, freed from the heavy emotional and physical chains.
