Un corgi, pe numele său Harry, a fost salvat recent dintr-o situație dificilă în Melbourne, după ce a fost ținut o perioadă într-un spațiu extrem de mic — un balcon minuscul, fără acces la interiorul locuinței.

Dar, pentru că internetul nu doarme, un video cu Harry, postat de niște vecini vizibil emoționați de starea lui, a devenit rapid viral. Oamenii s-au revoltat, au distribuit clipul și au cerut intervenție imediată, notează news.com.au.
Video-ul care a salvat o viață: Corgi-ul Harry devine viral pe internet
În urma investigației, Harry a fost preluat și evaluat medical. Din fericire, era într-o stare fizică stabilă, dar evident lipsit de interacțiune, stimulare și confort. Ulterior, a fost plasat spre adopție.
@heliabdollahi For the past three months, I’ve witnessed a little corgi trapped on a tiny 1.5m balcony of an apartment at 135 A’Beckett St (facing the south side, around level 8 or 9). Rain or shine, day or night—he is always out there. Alone. Cold. Barking. Spinning in circles. No toys, no bed, no food in sight. Just concrete. And silence. (This video is a short sped-up compilation) I reported this to RSPCA Victoria on June 1st, and followed it with emails, detailed descriptions, and video evidence—yet nothing has changed. Just this morning, in the freezing Melbourne rain, he was still out there. Last week, my housemate heard him crying and barking late at night. It was too dark to record, but we both knew what we were hearing. This isn’t a one-off. This is chronic neglect. I’ve seen him spin on that tiny balcony floor endlessly—a heartbreaking sign of anxiety and psychological distress. I’ve seen his tail wag when the owner comes out, desperately trying to connect. But the owner doesn’t even acknowledge him. Doesn’t pet him. Doesn’t let him inside. The corgi literally hesitates to step over the threshold, like he’s been conditioned to know he’s not allowed inside his own home. One time, the owner came out to sweep what looked like three separate piles of faeces—each one enough to fill a dustpan (as seen in video). That means this dog had been left out there long enough to go to the toilet multiple times, alone, without being walked or cared for. You don’t need to be an animal behaviourist to see that this dog is not okay. This is emotional abuse, and it’s completely preventable. Melbourne is freezing right now—I can barely handle the cold inside my apartment. I can’t even imagine how this small dog is surviving out there night after night. I’ve done what I can behind the scenes, but nothing is changing. So now, I’m turning to all of you. Please help me get RSPCA Victoria’s attention. Share this video. Tag them. Comment. Make noise. Demand accountability. And if someone from RSPCA sees this: I’ve even offered to foster him. I’ll care for him until he finds a permanent home. But right now, he’s suffering. Please do something. @RSPCA Victoria #RSPCAVictoria #AnimalNeglect #MelbourneDogs #AnimalAbuseAwareness #DogNeglect #AnimalWelfare #MelbournePetCommunity #Melbournepetrescue #dogsofvictoria #RSPCA #dogs #corgi #fyp #Melbourne ♬ original sound – heliabdollahi
Finalul este unul fericit: Harry a fost adoptat de o familie responsabilă din Melbourne, care deține deja o cățelușă – o malteză pe nume Maya. Cei doi s-au împrietenit imediat, iar acum își petrec zilele într-un mediu sigur, cu acces la spațiu, atenție și afecțiune.
