Concerned Samaritan Captures The Moment His Neighbor's Dog Realized He Had Been Abandoned By His Family
Owning a pet is a significant responsibility. Whether you have cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, or any other pets, the one undeniable truth is that they completely rely on their humans to take care of them.
They are domesticated and depend on us to provide them with a safe home. It is part of our duty as responsible pet owners to ensure they never starve, that they always have a secure place, and that they are never abandoned.
Despite this universal understanding that one must be fully responsible for the safekeeping of their pets, there is no shortage of abandoned animals needing rescue. No matter how many videos or photos we see daily, they remain heartbreaking.
The abandoned dogs cry for their owners, and the cats wait for their humans, hoping for their return. Little do they know, they have been left behind.
Islas Aguillares spotted his neighbor's dog crying and pawing at the door, waiting for his owners to let him in. Sadly, Islas's neighbors moved out that morning and left their poor dog behind.
The dog had no idea his family had abandoned him. If not for Islas's concern, he would have been one of the countless homeless animals waiting for rescue.
Islas posted about the abandoned dog in their local Facebook group
Unfortunately, he cannot afford to keep the pup and asked for help from other concerned citizens. It had been hours since the dog was left outside, and he could not stay overnight alone in the dark.
The video went viral after social media users heard the dog's cry for help
The poor pup kept scratching at the door, waiting for his owners to let him in
He had no idea they had left him behind when they moved
It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch him look for his owners
He began pacing the property, keeping an eye out for his humans to no avail
He finally gave up looking and sat in their front yard, looking as sad as ever
The video contains cries of distress; it's honestly heartbreaking.
Islas happily announced that the dog approached him, and he kept him out of the heat while waiting for the foster
The caption from Islas's post reads: "I finally gained his trust. :) Bittersweet, you will soon have a good home." Someone saw the video and offered to foster the dog.
Shirley Martindale-Horner saw Islas's post and went to the puppy's rescue
Islas reported on the progress when Shirley dropped by to pick up the dog. The caption reads: "God bless Shirley Martindale-Horner; he now has a loving home with wonderful owners."
Shirley took the dog to the groomer and wonders if he has ever been to the vet, given the state of his coat
They named the rescued dog Aubrey. The poor pup, who was once left behind by the only family he had ever known, is no longer without a safe haven.
Thanks to the collective effort ignited by Islas, the Fresno community was able to give a homeless dog a new lease, or in Aubrey's case, a leash, on life. It was absolutely devastating to witness him cry for his family.
Islas's concern for the dog saved him from a life of hardship. Shirley made sure Aubrey will never be abandoned by his family ever again.
