I have mentioned this countless times, and I will reiterate: animals are not merely companions.
Given that they spend significant amounts of time with us, they begin to perceive us as their closest friends and family members. Even if you are away for just an hour, you can see how much your furry companion has missed you upon returning home.
They start bouncing around, showering you with hugs and kisses. Now, consider how difficult it can be for them when their family decides they no longer wish to have them in their lives.
A Heart-Wrenching Tale
A devoted dog rescuer named Makaira Lebo experienced one of the most devastating moments that can occur for a pup.
In her work with the homeless community, Lebo encountered a puppy whom she decided to take to the local shelter. While in a parking lot, she observed an owner with her puppy who appeared to be in distress.
The puppy, referred to as Millie, was trembling and attempting to hide behind her owner as she sensed that something was off.
Lebo later discovered that Millie was, in fact, being surrendered to the shelter at that very moment, causing her to feel extremely anxious. Documenting the entire situation and sharing it on TikTok, Lebo aimed to raise awareness about what was occurring.
“This is what your dog looks like when you take it to the shelter because you failed your dog. Scared, trembling, perplexed and anxious. No idea of what they did wrong,” read the overlay text of the video.
