Abandoned On The Curb With A Pile Of Garbage, Boo Is Trying To Find A Better Life!


X post from GD.





http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/abandoned-boo/?


Seeing a pile of trash on the curb after a neighbor moves out isn’t terribly unusual. However, people in a Michigan town witnessed a family leave something tragic with their garbage pile, their pet dog Boo.



Boo kept vigil for nearly a month waiting on his family to come back. He made his bed on an old mattress the family had ditched. A concerned neighbor would leave food and water, but no one gave him shelter, and no shelter that was contacted would take Boo because of his breed. A call finally went out to Detroit Youth & Dog Rescue. Founder Mike Diesel went to try and save Boo before something even more unthinkable happened.

Who could abandon such a cutie? People can be so stupid and cruel. The click doesn't work though.

Sure it has a good guy hero but I'm not sure one good man is a good enough reason enough to save Sodom & Gomorrah.

Boo deserves a loving, loyal, protective real friend. Hope he's on his way now.
