"The screaming and crying was so stressful," Tina shared on Facebook. "But what a brave bunch of young ones who helped me. Hopefully they'll become ambassadors for the galgos."

After the emotional rescue, Tina brought Matilda to a hospital. Unsure whether the cries were from pain or fear, Tina was heartbroken by the ordeal. "In the last hour, I've aged about 30 years," she said. "It makes you feel useless."
