Determined rescuers in India gave new life to a dog in a painful situation.

A passerby noticed a dog covered in tar and frozen in place after he fell into a hot tar pit in Rajasthan, India. A call was placed to Animal Aid Unlimited, a local rescue center for street animals in need of assistance.

Rescuers spent nearly three hours over two days massaging the dog with vegetable oil to loosen the tar from his fur.

The process was visibly painful for the dog, but the end of the video reveals a clean dog with a wagging tail, eager to gobble up some treats.

According to their website, Animal Aid Unlimited is a "busy rescue center, hospital and sanctuary for injured and ill street animals" in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Every year the group rescues thousands of hurt and sick animals and provide a sanctuary to those who need life-long care.
