In 1990, at 6:10 am my dad went to work and drove by the park nearby our old apartment. He saw a dog tied around a tree with a water bowl next to him and thought it was odd because there was nobody around but went to work anyway. On his way back around 4-5 pm, he was driving by the park and saw that the dog was still there, tied down to the tree, with an empty bowl and the saddest face ever. He didn’t think twice, parked his truck, and approached the dog.
I remember we were watching tv and my dad called us to come outside, we went out and there it was on he back of the truck, the most beautiful golden Labrador we’ve had ever seen in our lives. He was so happy and my dad told us what happened. My mom suggested looking for his owners and my dad said, “he was tied down the whole fucking day. They left him on purpose. He’s ours now.”
Rocky, you were the best dog ever. There was no note, but whoever abandoned this gorgeous pup gave us our first dog and our best friend. R.I.P. buddy 🌻🌻💖

I have two dogs. I could never ever ever do this.
That being said, thank you, whoever left him there. You didn't shoot him, you didn't beat him, you didn't tie him in the woods to freeze or die.
While it's not acceptable and it's not preferred, we cannot shame people who did what they felt was best. Someone else will see the hatred and think, "well I should just shoot mine."
EDIT: I'm not condoning the behavior, and not saying what they did was okay. But I work with rescue leagues and work in shelters when I can. And lemme tell you, see enough dogs who've been abandoned in a vacant home, dogs tied up in the woods where no one saw them, or people "taking care of" a litter of unwanted cats by drowning, and a dog left in a populated area seems like a damn mercy act.
All I was saying was, the more we shame and the more we condemn, the further the divide becomes between expectations and actions.

Guess he was barking up the right tree today :)
