This Doggo Was Dropped At A Shelter And Is So Heartbroken That His Family Doesn't Want Him Anymore
As soon as you adopt a dog, whether you bought him or adopted him from an animal shelter, that dog immediately starts loving you and thinks they will have forever with you. But most people don't care about it.

Because a puppy is so cute and cuddly they want it, but as soon as that dog is fully grown it's boring and they don't want it anymore. And that is why the animal shelters all over the world are so full and the breeders just keep on making money.
A similar incident happened to a doggo called Hunter. He was so certain that his family loves him to bits and that they will never ever leave him. Unfortunately, he was wrong and the 6-year-old dog was dropped off at Houston Humane Society.
Their reason for dropping Hunter at the shelter? Apparently, his owners told staff members that he wasn't getting along with their new puppy so they didn't want him anymore. I think they should make the clinical term for this something like puppy syndrome.
Anyway, nobody explained the situation to Hunter, but it wasn't long until he understood what happened.
Randi Bertholet has been volunteering at the shelter for about seven years and she was the very first person that came in contact with Hunter after his human family dropped him off.
"When I walked up to the kennel, at first I didn’t even see a dog in there until I looked in the corner. I saw him frozen in fear, trying to make himself invisible," Randi. "I immediately sat on the floor, turned away from him, waiting for him to come to me. After a few minutes, he cautiously approached me."
When Hunter noticed that he could trust Randi, he completely broke down.
Randi shared the emotional video on their Facebook page with the caption, "Ever wonder what a broken heart looks like? Well, there you have it."
Randi tried her very best to comfort Hunter in the best way, but she completely understands why he is so upset.
"I was so heartbroken for him," Randi said. "I cried that night while laying in my warm bed with my dogs, thinking about him in there alone and scared."
But something great happened! Due to the heartbreaking video that Randi posted on Facebook, people learned about his sad situation and that is when the adoption papers started to roll in. So, that means Hunter won't be staying in the shelter for too long and this time the Houston Humane Society will make sure he gets a loving home and parents that won't just give him up again.
"I never thought my video would get the response it did," Randi said. "But I’m so glad it did."
Unfortunately what happened to Hunter, happens to dogs all over the world on a daily basis and Randi hopes that Hunter's story will shed a light on the problem and make people understand that dogs are not disposable things.
"I’m hoping this sheds a real light on the reality of what dogs go through when their owners drop them off," she said. "Perhaps it’s out of sight, out of mind for them. But I wanted them to see, so it was on their mind. They all are truly scared, confused, and devastated that the family, life, and home they once had is no more, and they don’t know why."
So, yet again here is another reason to adopt and don't shop!
