A group of urban explorers on TikTok decided to take a look around a random abandoned mall in order to film some content for social media and it was just as well they did as the group stumbled upon a malnourished dog trapped within the darkness of the old building. The viral clip, posted by “obsoletevoids” shows the group giving the poor dog some water and feeding it peanuts that they had presumably brought for themselves. The dog is stuck in a hole in front of a set of old escalators, it evidently fell in and found the walls to be too high for it to jump back out again. Who knows how long the poor pup was trapped in that confined, dark space, and without any access to food or water either. It was lucky the group came along when they did. After a few minutes of pondering what to do next and trying to gain the scared canine’s trust, one of the group is able to reach in and pick up the dog and pull it out of the hole. @obsoletevoids we found a dog stuck in an escalator inside of an abandoned mall #abandonedplaces #abandoned #urbanexploring #urbex @LordExplores @Exploring With Josh ♬ original sound – obsoletevoids Once the dog is fully out, the state of its malnourishment is clear, you can practically see the bones through the tight skin as its tail wags excitedly. The TikTok explorers came just in time While plenty of comments criticized the group for feeding the dog nuts, most commended them for doing everything they could to help the poor creature out. Had this group not come along when they did the dog would no doubt have perished alone in the dark. Thankfully the group decided to take responsibility for the lost animal after rescuing it too. They noticed she had a collar and was evidently comfortable around humans which suggested she wasn’t just a stray. With that knowledge, they decided to make sure they got her out of the mall and decided they would try and find her owner. In another video they updated the impatient TikTok crowd, recording their trip to the vet and their further efforts to try and find the dog (who they named Metro), a new home. They stopped off at a dog shelter but viewers implored the group to keep the dog. “Keep her, that dog need you and you need her, you may not see it now but you were meant to find her,” wrote one person, “Just curious are you aware yet that she’s your dog?” joked another, “Because she knows it.” So far there haven’t been any more updates on what the explorers decided to do with Metro, but from the videos they’ve already posted, it looks like she’s already well attached to her rescuers and would no doubt give her life for them. If you ask me, she’d make a great addition to their urbex group.
