Lately, Brooke Rapozo, from Kings SPCA in California, has found a dog who was dumped at the end of a dirt road who is now named; Banjo. Banjo refused to leave the place where his owner has left him behind. He kept on waiting for his owner's return, but he never appeared again! Banjo was freezing and starving as there wasn't any food, so he had to eat sticks!
When Brooke and the team of animal rescuers found Banjo, he was so scared, alone and confused. He didn't want to approach any of them. It was getting darker that they could hear coyotes in the area.
The team of rescuers spent hours and hours trying to earn Banjo's trust and they kept feeding him and trying to approach him very carefully, at the end he accepted some belly rubs. He realized they were not dangerous on him and they wouldn't hurt him. He must have felt that they were trying to do something good for him, he must have felt that!
Brooke wrote a letter on Facebook to the person she refers to as "The Callous POS owner of this dog" and here is what she wrote;
“Dear The Callous POS owner of this dog,
Today we noticed a couple of emails from people that had noticed your dog that had been abandoned on 15th ave and Excelsior ave. After looking at date, your dog had been sitting there since Saturday morning at least. It was 3:00 pm today when we finally noticed the messages because we have been so busy. We decided to drive over and see if we could help. Sure enough there he was.
He waited for you.
He hadn’t left the place you made him stay. He was being a good dog. He stayed close to the last place he saw his favorite person in the world. He thought you were coming back. He was watching every car that would come down the road hoping it was you coming back for him. Your dog has been freezing, hungry, and scared for days because you are a heartless piece of crap.
He waited for you.”
“He was so hungry that he was eating sticks. Nice people had stopped to drop off food but he was still so hungry and confused. But even with food sitting in front of him he knew he had to wait for you to come back.
He waited for you.
He isn’t a bad dog. He is a very good dog. You were a bad friend. You abandoned someone that would give his life for you. Someone who doesn’t care how long you stayed away at work. Someone who is just as happy to see you if u just go outside to check the mail or if you leave for days. Someone who would lick the tears off your cheeks and the leftover food from your plate when u were done eating.
He won’t be waiting for you anymore.”
“You don’t deserve this amazing puppy. You don’t deserve any dog at all.
My dog will forget about you. He will find a good home and will get the love he deserves. He will know what it’s like to have a real home.
I don’t care who you are or your excuse as to why you abandoned my dog. It’s probably a BS reason anyways. You are a scum bag. I pray your year is filled with karma and bad health.
Sincerely,
Brooke”
Now he has a second life chance, thankfully, Share his story with your family and friends!
