The tragic story about Anubis has moved the entire world over the past few weeks. Born in Cairo, he was adopted by his family to be a guard dog on their property. The poor dog was constrained to his guard post all throughout the day and night, and so all he did was bark at every passerby.

But one day, his humans decided they'd had enough of his barking and carried out an inexplicably barbaric act: they cut off his muzzle.
