The Axios Airsoft Group of Antofagasta, Chile, were suited up and ready to start shooting last January when they heard strange cries coming from nearby and stopped to investigate. What they found would shock the world.
As shown in the video below, a group of heroic Airsoft players came to the rescue of two dogs that were trapped in a tar pit. The dogs were sinking fast, completely soaked in the thick, sticky tar, and were struggling to breathe.
For some, this video will be hard to watch. You will want to crawl through your computer monitor and leap into the tar pit to rescue the struggling puppies yourself! But do stick with it, it’s worth it in the end.
Both dogs were pulled to safety and rushed to the care of rescue workers from Gatos Abandonatos Antofagasta(Abandoned Cats of
Antofagasta), where they were carefully scrubbed clean of the sticky, water-resistant goop and examined by veterinarians who were concerned about long-term effects or respiratory illness from being submerged in tar. Both puppies became sick with canine distemper.
Rescue workers also scoured the area, searching for more dogs or any clues to how they ended up in the pits. They found the bodies of 6 more
dogs in a neighboring tar pit and speculate that the dogs were thrown there and left purposely to die, that they did not wander into the pits on their own.
As for the two puppies that survived, Lancelot and Sacha, as they have been named, are now happy, healthy, and ready for loving forever homes! The rescue group that
nursed the pups back to good health hopes to adopt the pair out together, as they are truly the best of friends. The pair have even appeared on television and in public speaking appearances together, to bring attention to animal welfare and to teach Chileans about animal abuse.

says:Thank God someone found them and worked so
Hard to save their lives . I think it’s always going
To be an ongoing battle . That’s why so many people
Are involved in saving these dogs . Hopefully these organizations
Will continue to grow with donations from the public. A Dollar
Goes a long way if every one gives . These dogs deserved to be
Saved as would any human being . These rescuers need a big
Thank You it goes along way to know what they did was
Saved 2 Lives . No matter what they will never forget in their
Own hearts . What a heartwarming ending .
If you’re looking for a good sniper rifle look no further than the Type 96 Shadow Ops by UTG. This spring powered rifle is built to last with mostly metal and carries impressive specs. It shoots at an impressive 480 FPS and can carry 23 rounds in the magazine. It’s a little heavy at close to 9 lbs but it’s not like you’re going to be running around with it much as a sniper. With sniper rifles I find the extra weight adds stability and therefore accuracy.

says:The person that did this to these poor animals should be thrown into the same pit and left to die. That would be suitable justice in my book. I will even push them in!!!

Jen
says:Im so glad the pups are rescued although that one person pulling the ears of the pup was doing it the wrong way, still his intentions and his heart is right for desperately rescuing the puppies! KUDOS to these heroes. And like others said, the one who threw the puppies in the tar should suffer the same way ..I hope karma beat him as bad as he did to these poor puppies.Again , Axios Airsoft Group of Antofagasta, Chile, Thank you heroes ♥ May more men be like you. You are the real men.
Marilyn
says:No tar pit should be left open . They should all be Securely Fenced , so that only One Authorized person can open it for Individuals that are Licenced to use it .
R.I.P. To the little ones that didn’t survive, you are in God’s hands now <3. And I hope whoever did this will suffer the same fate.
God Bless All the Wonderful People and Their Families who had Rescued and Saved these Precious Little Babies <3 <3 <3 .

Thank you guys for saving this dog life. You are truly heroes. May God bless you and your family. I can’t understand how people can be so cruel…
erica
says:I WISH I COULD PERSONALLY TORTURE THOSE WHO HURT ANIMALS…ESPECIALLY DOGS. I WISH I COULD SET THOSE ABUSERS ON FIRE WITH AN AIR MASK SO I CAN WATCH THEM DIE & WRITHE IN AGONY ON FIRE. NOTHING WOULD BRING ME MORE PLEASURE THAN GOING “DEXTER” STYLE ON ALL ANIMAL ABUSERS! ONE DAY…..
Monica
says:i hope the assholes that did this have the same thing happen to them.
Bev

Nan archuleta
says:Thank you to these brave men who worked so hard to save these two puppies. I hope they find the animal that did this to them and give similar punishment!
This was so sad to watch . Who ever dumped this puppies into a tar pit if ever found should have some one dump them into a tar pit. Such cruelty!!! I feel sick . Even in Chile there are places to take unwanted animals I’m sure. Thankyou to those who saved these little guys. Its a shame that six ot6hers had to die!!!!!

ray
says:Will end with strong laws against the abusers,I without regret believe that people who do this should go to the same experience and be push inside the tar and left there for days.
