Images of a puppy in a backyard during a heavy downpour have shocked everyone on social media, sparking not only outrage but also a wave of criticism against the person responsible for the creature.
The owners of the dog, which appears to be a pit bull, may have forgotten to bring it inside to protect it from the elements. But, however accidental it may have been, it’s something no creature should be exposed to.
The recording of a few seconds was published by Facebook user Jaime Posada Carnoa, with the intention of raising awareness among the dog’s owner and in turn reminding all his friends that this should not be done.
The dog leans on two paws on some blocks in a desperate attempt to protect himself from the rain, but it was obviously impossible. The animal cries by the window of the house, as if waiting for his owner to pay attention, but at least in the recording, no one seems to come to his rescue.
The situation is truly unfortunate, but quite common, so we encourage you to take action if you witness this type of negligence. Although Jaime intended to report it, it’s unclear whether he actually acted to rescue his furry friend.
Sometimes, it’s not only helpful to report neglect on social media, but it’s also important for YOU, as a witness to any abuse, to take action and be that helping hand and voice for that furry friend in that moment.
