Stray dog tries to eat a plate of noodles… only for the food to keep falling out of a HOLE in its neck – sparking a hunt for the animal so a vet can treat it
This is the moment a poor stray dog tries to eat a plate of noodles left out for it by a kindly resident and they immediately fall out of a large hole in its neck before the food can reach its stomach.
Facebook user John Paolo Santiago Navea first noticed the stray drinking soapy water in the borough of Angat in the northern Philippine province of Bulacan and decided to feed it with some noodles.
Mr Santiago Navea said: ‘While I was watching the dog eat I saw some of the noodles immediately coming out again.
‘When I looked closer, there was a large hole in its throat.’
‘I assumed that the dog was supposed to be slaughtered but probably got away,’ Mr Santiago Navea said, adding that the practice should stop, according to Coconuts.
He also urged dog owners who no longer wanted their pets to hand them over to authorities rather than leaving them to fend for themselves on the street.

Filipino law states that ‘Any person who subjects any animal to cruelty, maltreatment or neglect shall, upon conviction by final judgment, be punished by imprisonment and/or fine.’

Mr Santiago Navea uploaded the footage to Facebook where it has been viewed 250,000 times in the first 24 hours and shared by 7,000 social media users.
In a comment on the post, Mr Santiago Navea said that he will look for the stray dog with friends and take it to a veterinary clinic.
