The sign reads, “Unlucky dog – Please help!” as it stands in the middle of a deserted street, catching the eye of anyone who passes by

This was the heartbreaking message left by the puppy’s owner when they abandoned her. The little pup sat forlorn, nestled near a rock, her eyes fixed on the path that the owner had taken, a path from which they would never return to collect her.

A concerned neighbor called Hope For Pets when she stumbled upon the abandoned puppy. Her fear of dogs prevented her from getting too close, and the puppy had been left there since the early morning.

The rescue team interviewed several neighbors, but no one had any information about the puppy. It seemed she had been left behind by a stranger who, out of fear that she might follow them home, had tethered her to a rock.

Physically, the puppy was in good health, but her body reeked, and she was in desperate need of a thorough cleaning.

In a bid to find information about her owner, the rescue team posted pictures of the abandoned puppy on social media with the caption “Unlucky Puppy – Help Me!” The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of people expressing their anger and dismay.

Dogs are known for their unwavering loyalty and companionship, always standing by our side, sharing in our joys and sorrows. There is no justification for labeling them as “Unlucky Dogs” and leaving them to fend for themselves.

Such behavior is not just inappropriate; it’s downright cruel. Hope For Pets continues its search for information about the heartless owner.

If you have any information about the puppy or her owner, please come forward. Justice must prevail, and we hope to identify the person responsible as soon as possible, ensuring that they face the consequences of their actions before the law.
