A construction worker in the city of London Canary Pier found an abnormal movement in one of the stands and found a helpless puppy trying to fear their strength.

When he realized he couldn’t escape himself, he combined his efforts to pull out this desperate animal out of the dirty holes. The puppy lay on the edge, covered from head to toe in a thick layer of dry mud.

When he was finally treated at a local hospital, veterinarians discovered he wasn’t a puppy after all.

Workers spot movement in deep mud hole


the dog is covered in mud


Matsy, as he was later called, was already exhausted and on the verge of death when nearby staff found him in a deep mud hole at the South Essex Wildlife Hospital in Orsett, England. He was completely covered in mud…so weak that he could barely stand. It was just a baby that got lost and fell into a hole. I can’t get out. No one knew exactly how long he had been in the hole, but he probably would have made it there if it hadn’t been for the workers who discovered him.

One thing is for sure: he needs urgent veterinary intervention. Because without serious veterinary help, he won’t survive.

Muddsey Wasn’t a Puppy After All!

The South Essex Wildlife Hospital took him over from the workers and made sure to clean his dirty coat. He needed a long scrubbing session as his fur was all covered in thick layers of mud.

After the hospital staff finally washed this poor boy, they came to the shocking realization that he wasn’t a puppy after all! He was a four-month-old fox cub! 

He was immediately provided with food and water, after which this adorable baby finally recovered from shock! The vets named him “Muddsey” as a symbolic tribute to the state in which he was found.

The vets confirmed that Muddsey would’ve probably died if he hadn’t been found by the workers. Seeing him helpless, totally caked, and absolutely stressed out was heartbreaking, but the good news was that Muddsey now finally had the chance to start over.A huge thanks to the people who saved Muddsey without any hesitation, giving him a second chance for life!
