It’s truly horrifying to see the way humans can abuse the love that our pets give to us, and Michigan based Dion and Danielle Cole saw first-hand how terrible people can be towards their animals when Dion saw a man throw out a dog out of a pickup truck and leave him without looking back. The traumatic nature of the incident forced him to return to the spot shortly after to find the dog.

While they knew the dog was still in the area, he was immediately terrified of anyone that would try to get near him, and it took a few days and some friends to help gain his trust. The dog seemed incredibly loyal to his previous owner, even after being left behind; he would wait there in the exact spot he was left behind every evening in the hopes that the truck would be back to come get him.

Eventually, they managed to gain his trust and get the dog into their car, with the help of some hunters and a young boy. In an emotionally charged Facebook post, Danielle describes both the loyalty and pain the dog faced after being released into the wild and left to fend for himself. Danielle addresses the previous owner by letting them know that “[their] dog chased after you and ran has fast as his little legs would let him until his legs gave out and collapsed on the side of the road.” Despite being afraid and alone, the dog held out hope that his owner would come back home in the evenings as “he was right where you left him waiting for you to come back.”

The dog is currently staying at their home, happy and enjoying life with his new owners. Unfortunately, they can only foster him until he finds a more stable home, but Danielle has noted that he does well with children and is great at home. She finally ends her Facebook post by noting that karma will come back to get him one day- “you a real scumbag and you will answer to what you did one day.”

While we can’t say for sure whether or not the man will ever be found and tried for abandoning his pet, but one thing is for sure- the adorable pup is much happier and much more loved in his new home!
