Police and rescue workers arrived at the scene. They tried to remove the dogs from the roadway, but because of their large number, it was nearly impossible. The main question remained unanswered: where had all these animals come from?

When the truth was revealed, everyone was horrified 😨😱 Continued in the first comment 👇👇

Not far away, a large shelter that housed nearly a thousand stray dogs had caught fire. The blaze spread quickly, and one of the workers — trying to save the animals — opened all the cages.

The terrified dogs ran out and eventually ended up on the main highway, not knowing where to go.

Rescue teams began setting up temporary barriers along the road to gradually gather the animals into a safe zone. Volunteers from nearby cities, workers from other shelters, and veterinarians came to help.
