This poor dog was starving for days and he had lost hope that anyone would ever find him.

Probably one of the cruelest things you can do to your pet is to abandon them.

Sad to say, there have been a lot of abandonment incidents in the United States lately. South Florida is most affected by this issue, claims the University of Florida.Initial

Those nasty owners mistreat their animals in addition to dumping them on the streets. To the poor dog, that is the worst thing.

This tale had to be recounted because one such incident, which occurred in Broward County not too long ago, is really unsettling.

Caring Owners at Their Worst

A couple driving through South Florida one chilly February day observed something odd in the middle of Broward County’s Florida Everglades.

A miserable thing huddled up on the filthy ground murmured gently in the darkness. That was a dog, they knew right away.

Not even wanting to face them in the eyes, he felt filthy and depressed. They saw his great weakness and believed he had been abandoned.

Days had passed while this poor dog went without food and gave up on the possibility that someone would ever discover him.His collapse was imminent.

If the couple was to save the poor dog, they would have to move fast and with little time. They searched for assistance for almost four hours without success, though.

Big Hearted Police Officers on the Beat

The couple claimed that despite their four full hours of phoning all the rescuers and organizations, no one answered.At last, the police arrived.

Arriving to answer the call of a “extreme case of abuse” were Broward Sheriff’s Office officers.

One cop gave the dog some food and drink right away when they arrived, so he could make the trip.

His trust was somewhat won by the cops, but the poor dog was so frail that he was unable to get up from his position.Though it was a real challenge to get him to the car, this dog eventually made it. He required help.

These fearless cops genuinely demonstrated how to carry out this noble duty. Boys, great job! I appreciate your service.

Effects of Abuse on Children

Deputies called Dezzy’s Second Chance Animal Rescue after giving Powder, as they called him, all he needed and when he eventually stabilized.

They replied right away, of course, and took the puppy in.Dezzy’s Second Chance Animal Care founder Sandra Dezelen greeted them there.

She grabbed Powder up to give first aid. She knew he had been out there for a while and that the healing process would take a while as soon as she saw him.

Powder underwent several tests before his medical update was available the following day.He was swollen all over his body, and they believed that he had a serious infection.

Fresh Start That Actually Made Him Well

Powder was now in the capable care of many who loved him, even if the horrific event he had gone through still plagued him.

Powder’s skin cleared up from those unsightly red patches and his eye surgery went well because of the kindness of the folks at Dezzy’s Second Chance.

Apart from that, he put on four pounds and was once more a joyful, energetic dog who was full of trust because of the kindness of wonderful people. His Second Chance dog brothers and sisters also provided him the much-needed courage to put a smile back on his face.

Although there was no formal announcement, Sandra verified in one remark on the “Lost Pet Found Pet” Facebook Page that he had been adopted and is now living a happy, loving life with a family that genuinely deserves him.

We also expect that his new family will take all necessary to show him a lot of affection and eventually win back his lost faith in people.
