In Mississippi, USA, a lady on her way to work complained about a pile of carelessly discarded bulky waste and old furniture on the side of the road.
Bulky waste on the roadside
It seemed as if someone had simply dumped their belongings in the open air. But as she got closer, she noticed a small dog on an old sofa in the middle of the garbage.
Emaciated, weak and hypothermic, the animal sat there with a frightened look on its face.
It is upsetting to learn that some pet owners simply dispose of their animals by the roadside as if they were garbage.
Animal shelters and animal welfare organizations are not only there to take in and care for abandoned or stray animals, but also to give them a new, happy life.
If you are overwhelmed with your dog or your circumstances change drastically, these institutions are ready to provide immediate help.
Your dog doesn’t have to experience the suffering and agony of an abandoned puppy before it gets its well-deserved happy ending!
Sharon, Police Animal Welfare Officer
The concerned lady called the police station and informed them of her find.
Sharon Norton, who is responsible for animal welfare at the station, set off immediately.
She was dismayed to see that the dog barely wanted to move and was apparently still waiting for its owner to return.
She pulled out her phone, took a photo of the pitiful sight and posted it online with the comment:
„Whoever dumped their bulky waste here, your dog is still sitting on his favorite chair waiting for you to return!“
She then took the little four-legged friend with her and began to care for him. He was also treated by a vet and is now waiting to find a happier home with a new, loving family.
