For a dog, parting with their favorite human is perhaps the most painful moment of their short life.
Unfortunately, many owners don’t understand this or don’t want to understand it. So, in recent years, an increasing number of dogs suddenly find themselves within the four walls of a kennel after many years in a warm home.
That’s exactly what happened to Chai, a four-year-old dog whose owner, without any explanation, simply handed her over to animal control and left. The image of her sad appearance quickly spread across the Internet and broke many hearts.
But aside from that, many people have also been intrigued by its mysterious breed.
This sad look
After Chai was surrendered to animal control on January 9, her photo from the shelter was quickly shared by many people online.
It didn’t take long for the image to catch the attention of people from Angels Among Us Save Petsin Atlanta, Georgia. They reacted quickly and decided to take care of this abandoned girl with a sad look.
“She was happy and loving when she arrived, but she slowly started to stop. » Jackie Spett, director of marketing and development at Angels, said News week.
The desperate state into which this dog was gradually beginning to sink was the best proof that the shelter was not the right place for her. This is why they decided to react quickly and, on January 12, managed to find him a foster family in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Her foster family will keep her for a mandatory 14-day quarantine period, after which she can be adopted, provided she remains healthy and free of any other concerns,” Spett said. “Chai’s foster family says she is always on the move, so an active family or individual would be best.”
Although his look was still a little sad and worried, Chai began to relax a little and show his true colors in the comfort of a loving home.
His fans on the Internet quickly discovered this news and were more than delighted. However, many of them were still “troubled” by a question related to this dog.
People kept guessing
Two days after finding his new home, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue shared Chai’s story in its Facebook post.
In addition to describing the situation this poor girl suddenly found herself in, they began the caption of this post with the question: “Anyone know what race I am?”
This sentence attracted a lot of attention. Many people started guessing and predictions mainly included a Dachshund mix and a German Shepherd-Labrador mix. Spett also said another popular choice was “the good old brown dog of Georgia.”
The post quickly garnered numerous reactions and shares, as well as numerous comments. However, in the multitude of comments, most people were still focused on the plight of this dog rather than its exact breed.
“Sweet baby. She is beautiful whatever her race. wrote one commenter.
“😢💔♥️🙏🙏🙏 poor baby, I pray that you have an eternally loving home, full of love and a loving family ♥️🙏🙏,” another person commented.
And a third joked: “She looks absolutely depressed. Poor baby. How could anyone leave her behind?
We also don’t understand how anyone could give up that innocent look, but who are we to judge? In the end, the most important thing is that there are still good people who are there to help and bring smiles back to these canine people whatever their breed.
