It’s a heart-wrenching moment when a once cherished pet is left behind, bewildered and abandoned. According to statistics from The Zebra, over 3.9 million dogs are abandoned or surrendered to shelters across the USA. Sadly, the dog in today’s story fell victim to this statistic.

In a Las Vegas airport restroom, a 3-month-old Chihuahua was found frightened and hurt. Initially presumed to be just another case of cruelty, a closer look revealed a different story.
The dog was accompanied by a note explaining the heartbreaking circumstances. The note revealed that Chewy’s owner, fleeing an abusive relationship and financial constraints, had no choice but to leave him behind.
The note read:
“Hi! I’m Chewy! My owner was in an abusive relationship and couldn’t afford me to get on the flight. She didn’t want to leave me with all her heart, but she had NO other option. My ex-boyfriend kicked my dog when we were fighting and he has a big knot on his head. He probably needs a vet. I love Chewy sooo much — please love and take care of him.”
