A 10-month-old dog called Duke was chained to a ramshackle trailer and left to die by his owner, who spread the rumor that he had a disease that was highly contagious. For this reason, no one dared to go near Duke until a kind woman stepped in to intervene.
Being labeled “diseased” and “untouchable,” Duke spent 10 agonizing days huddled under a run-down ramshackle trailer outside a Bulgarian village in June 2014.
