This shocking scene was caught on CCTV just outside a park in Johannesburg and posted to Facebook last weekend. A truck pulls into the parking lot of this park to abandon a pet in the grass, rather than surrendering it to a shelter. It’s even harder to watch when you notice that the person stepping out of the vehicle and dumping the dog in the grass is just a child, only twice as big as the small dog he’s carrying.
More than just the moment he was abandoned, the video shows the pup’s life changed in an instant. In only a few seconds he loses a warm home, a family who was meant to love him, and the certainty that he’s going to eat tomorrow. The selfish family in the truck just drives away and goes on with their lives like nothing has happened, but the poor dog’s life won’t be the same from this moment forward.
It’s heartbreaking to see him realize that the family is leaving without him once the children hop back in and close the door, and to give up so quickly when the truck drives away. Hopefully, this dog will find someone to care for him and another family who will stand by the commitment they make to their pet.
