\"Prosecutors<\/p>\n

Henry is a 13-year-old lab whose lived with his owner since he was a puppy. But this didn\u2019t keep stop Henry\u2019s owner from dumping this very good boy at city park in Vancouver, Washington, and \u2013 as her senior dog sadly looked on \u2013 jumping into her car and driving away.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this heartbreaking scene was captured on a neighbor\u2019s surveillance camera, which prompted these good Samaritans to call the police. Meanwhile, the dog, who patiently waited for his owner to return, was surrendered to a local animal rescue, I Paw\u2019d It Forward, where he’ll remain while police investigate this distressing case of animal cruelty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis woman thought the best way to get rid of a dog was to take him to Orchards Park in Vancouver, WA tonight and leave him there to watch her drive off in her Tesla with Oregon Plates,\u201d incensed rescuers wrote on Facebook, where they shared this\u00a0agonizing video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The clip shows Henry hopping out of the car with his owner, clearly under the impression he’s going for a walk. But after the woman removes her dog’s collar and ID and leads him up to the trailhead, she dashes back to her vehicle and quickly drives away. Fortunately, the video also went viral, promptly a flurry of tips identifying the woman’s name, car, dog, and location. It wasn’t long before police had tracked Henry’s owner to her home in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

But while Henry’s owner insisted she felt forced to abandon her dog, rescuers weren\u2019t impressed by her story, which struck them as phony and forced. \u201cThis animal abuser came in after Animal Control posted her door in Portland,\u201d I Paw\u2019d It Forward wrote on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>. \u201cShe drove her lovely Tesla to the meeting so she could cry her fake tears and make up her fake story. She did finally admit it, but she really had no choice. I Have ZERO EMPATHY FOR HER. Less than zero even.\u201d<\/p>\n

One thing that really irked rescuers was how Henry\u2019s owner allegedly told her friends and family that Henry had died, all while the loyal pooch \u2013 according to the neighbor\u2019s security footage — was patiently waiting across state lines for his owner to return. \u201cLater tonight, I will settle down and be less of a jerk and probably even offer some alternatives for folks that are struggling, but right now, I am gonna take a minute and be sad for Henry,\u201d\u00a0rescuers wrote<\/a>. \u201cSad for a 13-year-old dog who had to even feel one second of what it feels like to be abandoned.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, prosecutors are weighing the appropriate penalty for Henry\u2019s owner, who could face misdemeanor and civil charges. \u201cAbandonment is considered to be animal cruelty,\u201d an animal control officer involved in the case told\u00a0KATU2<\/a>. \u201cIt was her understanding that she had run out of options based on what she had told our investigating officers. She was unable to find a home for him on her own and had run out of options, in her mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that this is a difficult time for pet owners, many of whom are struggling to care for their pets in the wake of a global pandemic and economic crises that\u2019s claimed millions of jobs. But there\u2019s never an excuse for abandoning your animal, especially because local shelters, animal rescues, and pet food pantries can help with food, veterinary care, and even rehoming. Please contact your local\u00a0Humane Society<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about what\u00a0resources are available<\/a>\u00a0in your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
