Recently, a CCTV footage in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, captured a tragic moment when a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, called Snoop by his rescuers, was viciously abandoned by his owners. “The footage has to be seen to be believed, it’s just awful,” animal welfare officer Natalie Perehovsky said about the incident. “To see the poor dog in such obvious distress jumping up at the car as it drives away it just heartbreaking. I can’t understand how someone could do this.”
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has started an investigation into Snoop’s case, after a passer-by found him sitting poorly abandoned on the street, in the bed that his owner had thrown out with him. “The vets scanned his microchip and we have traced two previous owners in the Birmingham area, but do not believe either are the current owners and therefore not those responsible for abandoning the dog,” Officer Perehovsky said.
“One man can be seen clearly in the footage dumping the dog, and there is a second person in the driver seat of the car. I am very keen to hear from anyone who recognizes the vehicle, the man or the dog.”
“The veterinary staff have nicknamed the dog Snoop, and he is in good condition, thought to be two years old. He is a white Staffie with black marking and is such a friendly, lovely boy. He’s currently being cared for at a private boarding kennel where he will get all the care he needs whilst I investigate further.”
“It beggars belief that someone could abandon a dog like this at Christmas, but we are so thankful to the kind people who found Snoop sitting sadly in his bed, for taking him to the safety of a vet straight away.”
Snoop didn’t realize he was being abandoned, and he tried to get back in the car and even chased after it when the driver tried to drive away. He now needs a new home. This story serves as a reminder for people not to abandon their pets, and if they don’t want them anymore, they should try and give them to a local shelter, or someplace else for pets.
There were a lot of negative comments on the matter, and some of them even shared their experience.
