Dog Became 'Rock-Solid' After Falling Into Hot Tar — See His Amazing Transformation After a Two-Day Rescue

A dog that had fallen into a pool of hot tar in India was almost unrecognizable when rescuers got to him. He was stuck to the ground and unable to move as solidified tar stiffened his body. He was covered in leaves, grass and other debris and his breathing was barely visible. His frightened eyes were the only things that moved.
