When the Petraškienės found the dog, it was clear that he had gone through an ordeal. He was shaking and scared. While his persistence may have saved him from his near-death experience, Audra felt that he would likely be traumatized for life.

The Petraškienės brought him home, removed the anchor, and took him to the vet. Fortunately, the vet said that he was in perfectly good health aside from the stress caused by his abuse.

Enraged by what she witnessed, Audra tried reaching out to the dog's owner. She posted about the dog on Facebook, eventually finding someone who claimed to be the owner.
