After Being Thrown Away By A Presumed Owner, This Dog Has Been Given A Second Shot At Life With The Help Of Local People

Before adopting or purchasing a pet, some people do not give it much thought. It can be speculated from the number of animals housed in shelters or homeless pets that have been left on the streets by their owners. Domesticated animals are unable to care for themselves, therefore they have an unfailing trust in those who do.

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a woman was walking around the neighborhood with a dog on a leash when she suddenly picked the dog up, threw him through a fence into someone’s garden, and left the scene.

    The previous (presumed) owner also left a letter in the mailbox

    The letter was composed as if it was written by the dog himself: “My name is Adriano. I’m 14. I was born on October 6, 2008. I have been blind for three years”

    “I am not neutered. I’m very good. I do not bite children, adults, or other pets. Human food makes me sick. I don’t know how to eat bones.”

    “That’s how they abandoned him, as if his life was worthless, as if he were a stuffed animal, as if he didn’t feel it” commented a spokesperson of the shelter

    “How would you leave the house, with the letter already written, put him on a leash, and take him for a walk, knowing that you will abandon him?” They wrote

    “The poor dog understands nothing. We feel helpless, as we spent Sunday anguished with the situation, we can not believe this could happen” they expressed in a post

    The Shelter was looking to find a permanent home for Adriano with the help of locals in Buenos Aires

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    This breaks my heart and angers me too. How could anyone throw an animal away like it’s garbage? I’m happy he’s in a good home now.

    Poor fella. Who could look at that face and do such a thing..? to a blind dog?! My little olg guy is in the mid stages of congenital heart failure and suffers tracheal collapse and dementia. Weve rarely been apart. I cant imagine life without him. I dont want to adopt a puppy, im old enough to go any time myself. i cant stand the thought of being alone either, so after some thought, ive decided i'll honor my doggy by adopting the oldest, most overlooked pooch in the pound. Shower him with love in his final days, and when the time comes, repeat the process. It would ne hard, emotionally, but i'll make a lot of unforgetable friends. i think it makes the most sense at my age.
