He was old and partially sighted when he fell in 4 days ago scared by a truck.
It wasn't the easiest rescue as the water is filthy with sewage there and he was biting a lot out of fear.
The little old guy is in our hospital now. Weak but nothing unfixable ♥️

I’ll never forget the little wooden splint this man made to try help Mario.
All the locals knew who best Mario up. A man high on meth.
Look at him now in England. Thankfully he has no mental scars ❤️
