The run in the video contained a male terrier mix dog that had just been neutered by the shelter vet 3 days before. The dog was chronically wet from daily contact with water from the hose and had to sit on wet surfaces for most of the day. The chronic exposure to wet surfaces caused the neuter skin incision to open up.
