We all long for a world without neglect, abuse, or abandonment of animals, but unfortunately, that’s not our reality. Every day, we witness the heartbreaking sight of dogs left to wander the streets alone and defenseless. Even dogs with loving owners can suffer due to the callousness of some humans.
“Spirit That Never Deserved To Be Broken”
TikTok user @hairbymariahjewell shared a poignant video of herself driving with her distressed dog, Max, clinging to her for comfort. The woman’s heartfelt explanation reveals the deep scars left by careless abandonment, highlighting how profoundly animals can feel.
“To the person that decided to leave him on the side of the road, scared and alone, he may have just been a dog to you, but this sweet boy deserves to enjoy car rides, but instead, he is traumatized and scared,” the woman stated.
Her empowering message continued: “I am getting to mend a sweet spirit that never deserved to be broken. Please do not leave them stranded and alone; they depend on you. Take them to a [no euthanasia] shelter, so a loving family can choose them.” She concluded with a poignant reminder: “Do not let them go through this pain.” The video carried the caption: “My sweet Max.”
Numerous Reactions
This heartfelt video resonated with many viewers, who were moved by Max’s traumatic experience that continues to affect him. The outpouring of reactions led us to highlight some of the comments.
“Aw, him crawling up and clinging on has me in tears,” one user commented. Another added, “He’s holding on so tight hoping you don’t do the same 😭 poor baby. Get him a pup cup next car ride please 🩷” Another remarked, “They are NOT just dogs!!! They are God’s way of making sure we always have a best friend! We don’t deserve dogs!!!”
While we wholeheartedly agree, it’s apparent that countless individuals remain unaware of this truth. However, videos like this serve to spread awareness, fostering empathy and potentially saving more dogs from abandonment. It’s harsh to say, but it’s crucial that those who harm animals face justice.
