Three puppies that had been stuck in solid tar in India survived after an animal rescue and treatment organisation saved them.

Alerted by a caring person in the city of Udaipur, the Animal Aid team attended to the suffering trio that had been stuck in the black tar for hours and went about freeing them one by one.

In the following three days the staff kept oil massaging and bathing the one-month old puppies until they were completely free from the tar. The trio's mother was found and they were being looked after by a local in the neighborhood.

The organization told Reuters that the staff members were checking on them weekly. The video on the Animal Aid Unlimited YouTube page has so far garnered more than 1.6 million views.
