Yeah, you're probably right, I hope that the dog was dead already

Yeah, I thought that tbh.

No way a stray dog would sleep through construction work happening right next to it if it wasn't already dead. I doubt it would have slept out in the open either since that's more of a trait of domesticated animals rather than strays. Stray cats and dogs tend to find a place they deem safe before sleeping.

It's grotesque that the construction workers didn't think to move the carcass and just worked over it but I doubt very much that the dog was alive to begin with.

Read it, people claimed dog was still alive in the morning,
Btw the work was done at night in case you couldn't read the report

I read it, still doubt it went down as the people said. If the dog was still alive when the roadworks began then he'd have gotten out of there, if for some reason he didn't, he would have died long before the morning commuters spotted him.

My dogs are domesticated as hell but they'll still jump up if they hear the slightest bit of movement near them, I just can't believe that a stray dog would sleep through roadworks. It makes no sense to me.

I hope you're right.

Not necessarily, on the Indian version of Pog Dogs the street dogs just flop down more or less anywhere, they are used to traffic and noise

Still doubt they'd be in such a deep sleep that this could happen tbh. Stray dogs in India still have survival instincts even if they are used to the noise and if they are used to traffic, they'd know better than to sleep on a road.

Agreed, story is BS, there are no indications that the dog struggled at all. Tarmac was poured over a dog that was already dead at the side of the road - which is pretty grim to be fair, but even there I think the most likely explanation is that they didn't see it - and the rest of the story is pure sensationalism.

Tarmac doesn't go down solid and there's absolutely no way that any animal doesn't jump a mile into the air when it's been burned (and hence, at least partially out of the tarmac, which would leave debris).

I hope he was dead before this happened because it would have been agony

Bloody hell, that's horrific.

I don't understand how anyone can hurt an animal. It's barbaric.

The world as a whole need to put Animal Cruelty on the same scale they do to global warming

That's a kinda strange comparison

[bots]

One has to ask what the agenda was of the person taking the photo, because the photo in itself doesn't indicate how the dog died. Animals die all the time, accidents happen all the time. People are being fed a narrative without any proof of context.

I did wonder why ,as soon as that tarmac hit its legs that the dog would not automatically jump up and try and flee, it's a strange one,my dog sleeps soundly but as soon as he hears the tiniest noise he is awake, we will never know but I truly hope it was dead before the tarmac was laid.

Maybe it was shock like too much pain for the brain to handle when it was asleep, it sounds horrendous and I feel sick

Yes,could have been or the dog was hurt before the tarmac was laid,poor,poor animal.

[Tom4784]

I think it's safe to say the dog was dead beforehand, thankfully.

[Marsh.]

Looks like maybe it was hit by a car and laid dead at the side of the road?

[JerseyWins]

Omg the pic is heartbreaking I'd think & hope the dog was already dead but poor dog if it wasn't (poor dog either way, RIP </3)
