Camera catches woman abandoning her dog (Video)

A heartbreaking scene happened in front of a house in San Antonio, Texas. Unfortunately, no one was there to see it but a security camera captured every wrenching moment on crystal-clear video. “In the video, you can see this little dog who looks like she’s going for a walk with her owner, until something happens that makes him feel very helpless,” said Lisa Norwood, a spokeswoman for Animal Care Services. The woman who walks with the dog stops at the entrance of a house and places a plastic bag full of treats on the floor to distract him. The dog allows her owner to tie her leash to the metal pole of a basketball hoop. He even shakes his tail with enthusiasm. But when the woman starts to walk away, the dog’s cheerful, carefree attitude suddenly changes.

“That happiness she has turns to confusion and then fear as that person walks away. He does not know he’s being abandoned and tries to escape, you can see him tangled in that belt, struggling to reach the woman,” Lisa said. The owner of the house had just left and returned shortly after to find the frightened animal cowering in the yard. There was no note or clue as to why the sweet girl had been left to fend for herself. The Staffordshire terrier, later called Takis, was taken under the care of Animal Care Services, where he impressed everyone with his sweetness and also were perplexed because they did not know how someone would leave him so easily.

A heartbreaking scene

“Takis is the sweetest dog, playful and wonderful. He was in the kennels for about 24 hours when someone came, she saw how sweet and cute he was. and filed an application for adoption for him, “said Norwood, a shelter official. Once Takis has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date on her vaccinations, she will be ready to find her forever home. In the meantime, investigators are still searching for the woman from the video. They hope that releasing the footage to the public might encourage someone to call in with a tip. Watch the video, this is another example of how painful it can be for a pet to be abandoned.

Fortunately, Takis has a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. And with the right family he will never have to worry about where his walks will end. Our best wishes are with him.
