Video footage has emerged of an owner abandoning her 13-year-old Golden Retriever.
The heartbreaking footage shows a car rolling to a stop. A woman gets out and opens the door for the pup. The Retriever happily trots out with its tail wagging, thinking it’s going for a walk.
A timely rescue
She walks to the edge of a wooded area as the pup trots by her side obediently. She turns and runs back to her car before driving away and leaving the pup alone.
Thankfully, the sad tale doesn’t end there. The dog was picked up by I Paw’d it Forward and taken into care.
The charity found the owner, who admitted she’d abandoned the dog (after telling neighbours he’d died) and will now face prosecution.
A loving home for a deserving pup
The gorgeous boy’s story has been shared on Facebook, and we’re sure he’ll find a loving home where he can spend the remainder of his days with plenty of fuss and treats.
There’s never an excuse to abandon a pet. While times can get hard and it could feel like the only option for some, there are always charities and shelters that can help and abandonment is never the answer.
We wish this gorgeous Golden all the best.
