A dog in Houston, Texas, clung to the one thing that reminded her of the family who left her behind – a teal chair dumped on a sidewalk. The dog, a young pit bull mix, was rescued thanks to compassionate people who couldn’t bear to see her abandoned and alone.
The rescue effort was recorded and posted to Facebook on Friday – an explanation accompanied the heartbreaking video which shows the dog’s loyalty to the family who decided that she wasn’t worth taking with them:
This is some of the footage of the rescue that just took place. This dog was dumped by her owners at the dumpster along with their chair and other belongings and she has been waiting here day and night for them to return!

Anyway this very amazing lady named Diahann Vega Ochoa reached out to me and we were able to get the dog safely into my car. I am hoping to take her to Westbury animal hospital and at least board her for a couple of days so I can Network.
The dog has been taken to a veterinarian for an exam and vaccinations and is being boarded until arrangements can be made. You can view the Facebook thread for this rescue effort here.

Did you know that if you want to get updates from a Facebook page, you have to do more than just “like” it? To get recent postings in your Facebook feed, you must also hover your mouse over the word “following” and then click “see first” from the drop-down menu. You may want to check back with your favorite pages on occasion because Facebook often changes your settings, no longer having your favorites among those to “see first.”
These scum need to be tracked down an charged!!
Wonderful woman and perfect example of what to do for an animal that has literally been dumped like trash and abandoned by their so-called family. There should be charges brought against this family for abandoning their pet and pay for any services needed until he is adopted. Hope they are miserable where ever they went.
Amazingly heartless people and then Amazingly good and kind people. Thank you to those who have a good heart. I hope those people who dumped this sweet dog are charged and arrested. NO ONE SHOULD GET AWAY WITH THIS.
GREAT LADY /SHARED
The fbi should be called and charged with felonys
If I was President, I’d issue an executive order: ALL crimes involving animal neglect, abuse, abandonment, would be felonies, capital crimes. I’d haul out Old Sparky and put it do good use. No plea deals, no early release, no parole, no pardons.
Sounds good to me.
Diahann….bless you sweet lady for saving this beautiful animal who was so heartlessly dumped by the monsters who owned her. Karma will hopefully find them and make sure they end up homeless and unwanted on the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
