Dog's Heartbreaking Reaction After Being Left In Shelter After Two Years Living With Owner

Recently, a dog rescue video on TikTok is breaking hearts online, showing the harsh reality of abandoning a furry friend. In the clip shared by Thefabfiverescuedogs, a pup ditched by her owner for being "annoying and needy" sits by the door, hopeful but unaware her owners won't return.

The caption reads, "This is what it looks like when you decide you don't want your dog after two years and drop her off at a shelter. They frantically paw at the door and look everywhere for you."

The whole video highlights the emotional distress dogs feel when left alone, addressing the stress that they experience. In fact, all dogs dislike their owners leaving, even for a short time, as they fear permanent separation. According to IFL Science, dogs undergo significant stress during their owner's absence, affecting their heart rate, respiratory functions, and stress hormone levels like cortisol.

Moreover, the short video also underlines the need for responsible pet ownership, considering the staggering number of pets surrendered to shelters annually—6.3 million, averaging 17,260 daily.

“Now the rescue gets to comfort her and pick up the pieces of her broken heart, all because she was 'too much work' and you didn't want to deal with her."

Such a heartbreaking revelation of the daily struggles faced by rescues and shelters, right? They are overwhelmed with stories just like this every single day, and most are drowning in dogs with no end in sight. And undoubtedly, it’s also a very difficult reality for these poor animals, who are pleading for empathy and a second chance in life, as many are facing uncertain fates, even euthanasia.

However, good news is that despite the grim statistics, many shelters are planning to reduce euthanasia rates through adoption drives, spaying/neutering initiatives, and behavior rehab.

After being posted, the video resonated widely, garnering up to 1.1 million views and 130,000 likes on TikTok. Viewers all over the world are sharing their experiences, expressing empathy, and vowing commitment to their pets.

An user empathizes, saying, "As someone struggling with a 12-week-old puppy, I get it. I'm tired. I've cried. But there's no universe where I could give him up." Others, like Araisin7253, can't fathom such abandonment, claiming it would feel like losing a part of themselves.

Another believes that if the pup was surrendered for being "too much work," she's better off elsewhere, predicting her broken heart will heal with a new, caring family.
