Braniștea, Romania - An elderly, blind, and deaf dog was abandoned at a busy car wash in Romania. Fortunately, some teens noticed the desperate furry friend, who was behaving conspicuously under the circumstances. The drama can be seen in a now-viral video.

The clip was published on Facebook on January 13 by the animal shelter "Sava's Safe Haven," where the poor four-legged friend had already been taken in for care.

The video shows the dog wandering around confused and disoriented, not knowing what is happening to him.

This sad sight has broken the hearts of so many internet users.

"[The teens] noticed the dog walking erratically near the car wash, making circles and searching for shelter," said Alexandra Sava, the founder of the shelter, in an interview with Newsweek.

"They knew something was not right, so they informed us, and with their help, we were able to rescue him," the animal rights activist added. What she said afterwards makes it clear once again just how bad the situation had been.

"If not for their fast action, he might not have survived," Sava said.

"Due to his medical condition, he wouldn’t survive long on the street or in a shelter environment," explained Sava.

"We believe he was abandoned only a few days ago. He has no microchip, and, while we will request camera footage from the car wash, we cannot confirm the exact moment he was left there."

It remains to be seen exactly what will happen to the senior dog.

"A shelter environment would be far too stressful for him given his age and health," she said.

"Our goal is to provide him with warmth, love, and comfort during his remaining days," the rescuer added.
