Meet Tessa the doggie, who was found tied up in a field with a ‘I don’t want a dog’ note written by her new owner who dumped her just days after taking the dog in. She used to belong to Yvonne Radcliffe, a 76-year-old lady who recently moved to Canada. She didn’t take her pooch with her worrying the doggie would be too old to survive the flight. The woman left her beloved dog to her neighbor whom she had known for 9 years.
Radcliffe’s son Paul Edwardson, 38, who found out about Tessa after seeing a Facebook appeal, commented: “[The neighbor] told her that he had always wanted a dog… that he was “building a run for her” and was “so happy to have her”.
“When I rang my mum and told her [about Tessa], she immediately started crying her eyes out. She kept repeating “what has happened to my dog?”
The man added: “There has been no remorse from the neighbour at all. There has to be much tougher punishments for this kind of offence.
Luckily, Alan Webster, who runs the South Yorkshire Pet Ambulance service, was fundraising at the car boot near the field where Tessa was left that day. He rescued the poor doggie and now she is being looked after by the animal rescue volunteers.

what the actual f**k? I can't decide what's more disturbing, just taking the dog although she didn't want it or the note, which gives me eyecancer.
BECAUSE THE BEST WAY TO ABANDON A DOG IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND NOT AT A SHELTER OR SOMETHING. Seriously people, we have place for that.
It hurts my heart to see that poor pupper standing there with all its belongings. 😢
WHAT KIND OF A SICK FREAK DOES THIS?! Oh my god. If this person didnt' want the dog ,why didn't they just say so to the original owner?!? How STUPID is this person? If they said no the original owner would have had a chance to find a loving home for this dog, or at least give it to a shelter, but nooo instead this dumbass promises to take care of the dog and then dumps the poor old thing? I can't even...I.. Have no words for how angry this makes me.
This is passive-aggressive behavior to the extreme. I know this will sound twisted/strange but I am GLAD the dog is away from that psycho neighbor, and being cared for by a responsible, loving person.

why not just say "i am sorry, i cannot take your dog" so the lady could have found another home for it??
"OMG yes I would LOVE to take in your dog!! I can FEED it and take CARE of it! You can count on me!" *later* "Hmm. I wonder what dogs eat... Oh! I know! Tea, coffee and watered down milk! I am SO smart. Who needs the internet anyway? I know how to take of a dog ALL BY MYSELF!" *2 days later* "You know what? I'm done. This is SO hard! I have to feed it EVERY SINGLE DAY, take it out to use the bathroom! This is crazy! So long, sucker. Just sit in this field. Goodbye." Seriously. WHY? If you think your dog should drink TEA you shouldn't have a dog! And the BEST way to dispose of a dog is by abandoning it! *sarcasm*
Found on the association facebook: Update Tessa (Abandoned dog at Oldcoates) Tuesday 25th Apr 17 Tessa will be up for adoption by the weekend. She is presently at Dogs Trust in Leeds. So please contact them and let us know if you are successful in giving her the home she deserves. As for the Scumbag who dumped her - we now know who he is, and have ruled out any wrong doing of the original owner who as gone to the States to live. Thank You so much for everyone's concern and offers of help. Sorry we wasn't able to contact everyone. I'm glad this poor doggie will have a chance to find a loving family. Can't wait to have a steady job to be able to go adopt a senior animal.
wth? Where are the nice paragraphs I made? My post looks like a big block... T_T

Thats very sad but I was kinda in a similar situation i left my beloved ange l with someone i thought I could trust come to find out he had her for 2 days then took her to the shelter and had her put down I found out cause 2 weeks later I went back to get my baby and was given the news i wish people would be stright and honest I pray that baby finds a loving and honest forever home
Poor senior doggy. Tessa is an old girl who needs love and respect. I really hope she gets what she needs. I sincerely hope this young person learns that you cant just dump or throw away something they didn't want, especially when it is a living feeling animal.
Excuse me while I go hug my dog tight and not let her go. :'(
This really pisses me off. There's no f*****g excuse for this behaviour! I hope that poor dog is well looked after. I'm so sad for him, another example of an animal who has been taken away from everything he knew and loved. It makes me cry.
I just hope that one day when he is old he's just left in a garden with a note saying "I don't need a f*****g moron that abandons animals." And what about the owner? I would prefer to drive a thousand miles just not to abandon my pets!!!
That was my first thought too. Why not a road trip? But then I googled and found out she moved from England to Canada.

I hope they got arrested for doing this, it must be criminal even in the USA to abandon animals like this?
Master, M, below echoes how I feel. He could have done the same but left Tessa at a shelter. ANYTHING could have happened to her. Animals are helpless - what are ppl. like this thinking?
I saw on a YouTube video that Tessa is now up for adoption. I'm not sure where though. I saw the video on the channel Inside Edition.
There is a special place in hell for people like this and I hope it's one of the hottest.
Field with s note tied around their neck ..and belongings nearby !!! Karma should come and bite this idiot on the a**e !!!! Infuriating!!!!!
What kind of human being is this ??? Hope they don't need anyone to look after them in their final years they may just find themselves in a
What sort of human being is this ?? Hope they don't need anyone to look after the In their final years ! They may just find themselves
Do they know if the dogs okay now? Did she get adopted? Did the find the sick a*****e who dumped her????? I NEED TO KNOW
Why didn't they just take the dog to a rescue or no kill Shelter or smth? I've never seen anything so horrendously lazy.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I HATE THAT NIEGHBOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to the little dog? Is someone trying to reunite her with her original owner? Come on Internet Peeps, can we find a way to send her safely to her little old lady owner? She must be heart broken to hear about what happened.
Why "reluctantly" say yes if you don't want a dog? I know English people have a hard time saying "no", but saying "yes" then abandoning it isn't helping his ex-neighbour. What an idiot. Next time you don't want a dog, take it to a shelter. Even better, when someone offers you a dog, say "no". Lying about doing someone a favour, isn't doing someone a favour. Some people are halfwits. More than 40% of the English population has a below-average IQ.
Ikr exactly. If they'd just said no at least the owner would have cared enough to find someone else or take the dog to a shelter.

This disgusting sick excuse for a human needs to be prosecuted , for more reasons than 1 , heartless bastard
I actually have tears in my eyes. 12 years loyal and so cute and old herself. I'd have her immediately.
Can you hold on with these stories until you get an outcome and can let us know how the dog is getting on. Obviously stories about abandoned dogs are doing well for you but at least let us know the poor thing is rehomed.
Was reading this on my phone and it just updated to give me more text. Now I feel like a mug. Sorry.

Oh, and what about the spelling mistakes? Anyone who has at least a little self-respect would not write like that, especially such types notes!
They should punish people suffering from this branch of idiotism! How could someone be so heartless to dumb such a cute old dog?
This is very upsetting. Word can't describe what im feeling right now
That's just terrible wow just wow it makes me so sad to see that people are so careless!
it costs nothing to put an animal in to care SPCA etc why do people do this, and why did the neighbour say yes in the first place, this is sickening , when will people learn
I wonder, is there really a risk that the doggie wouldn't survive the flight? (I don't know). And so cruel that neighboor. Thank goodness someone rescue the poor doggie.
There is a risk:S It depends on the race and the age of the dog of course. But generally there is really humane ways to transport your dog - they shove him/her into some part with the cargo in the plane (where it is pretty cold) for hours in a crate:S I will move soon also, and I am desperately looking for better ways to bring my doggo, and even though he is a puppy yet, I am afraid what might happen to him through the flight. He might not die, but a broken leg is bad enough. I think it was a responsible decisionfrom the old lady to leave the dog behind.
