Dog Abandoned in Man's Backyard With Heartbreaking Note


http://www.pet360.com/dog/lifestyle/dog-abandoned-in-mans-backyard-with-heartbreaking-note/B-eZkrCtg0CIBqhOBIhhOg?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=PaidContent&utm_campaign=360-Articles&utm_content=Dog+Abandoned+in+Man%27s+Backyard+With+H&extcid=PCDOB1



When Houston resident Quincy Bui returned home from work one day, he found a note on his doorstep. The note read: “My dog is in your backyard. I cannot afford her. My husband beats her and I can't let her live with us. I love her too much. Her name is Ruben-May. Thank you."

According to KHOU News, when Bui checked his backyard, he found the abandoned dog, who was suffering from a skin condition and appeared to have been abused. Bui checked his security footage and saw the whole incident unfold on camera.

The footage shows a pickup truck parking outside of Bui’s Houston home and a man getting out with the dog under his arm. The man walks up to the front door and around to the back yard, where he leaves the dog. He then drives away.

"The surveillance cameras could provide a critical clue"

"So far the man has not been identified"

Well, mr TV man, you ain't helping.

I'm guessing that they will first determine his circumstances before unleashing a hailstorm of criticism on him.

Or do they just slap them in a cell and let them continue to suffer?

The note says the husband beats the dog and yet a man dumps the dog. Is thie dumper the husband, or the writer of the note (in a same sex marriage)?

But the police there had a habit of dumping strays there, so they weren't sure if the owner left it or it was a stray. After 6 weeks of trying to find the owner, we fostered it for a couple of weeks, then decided to keep her. She's quite the handful, I can understand why somebody no used to excitable, energetic dogs might have been overwhelmed.
