Thirteen frightened young dogs and puppies arrived in San Francisco in a van Thursday, some trembling, tails between their legs, others with sad but hopeful eyes, and all of them unaware of how close they came to an agonizing, gruesome death.

They were the last of 57 dogs that were rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea, part of a program by Humane Society International to bring awareness to and ultimately end the cruel treatment and consumption of canines.

The dogs were brought to the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where clapping and cheers were heard when the first terrified canine, a 120-pound short-haired mastiff-type breed known as a Tosa, was carried out of his crate.

The muscular, droopy-eyed dog, whom humane society workers named Austin, sat back in his crate and silently resisted when workers put a leash on him and tried to lure him out.
