Springer Spaniels are not commonly seen in daily life, but you have definitely seen them in many public places, such as train stations, airports, and subway stations. With their keen sense of smell, Springer Spaniels are often used as search and rescue dogs, riot control dogs, and drug detection dogs to assist humans in completing many difficult tasks.
In addition, Springer Spaniels are friendly, affectionate, and obedient. Even though they are not as famous as other breeds, many people still choose them as their pets.
I never imagined that such an outstanding dog would be abandoned one day. A Springer Spaniel was abandoned by its owner on the roadside, and the dog's reaction was heartbreaking.
November 19th was a Friday. At eight o'clock in the morning, the streets were full of commuters rushing to work, and many shops had just opened for business.
A taxi suddenly stopped in front of a pet hospital, and a woman got out of the car, holding a dog in her arms.
Whether it was because she wasn't holding on tight enough or because the dog was struggling, halfway there, the dog fell out of the woman's arms and landed hard on the ground. The dog let out a painful howl, its leg seemed to be injured, and it tried to get up but couldn't.
The woman didn't pay any attention to this. She picked up the dog again and quickly walked towards the veterinary hospital. Seeing this, most people would probably think that the woman was taking the dog to the hospital for treatment. However, what happened next was unexpected.
The woman actually abandoned the dog right in front of the pet hospital. By then, the pet hospital had already opened. Perhaps worried that her actions would be discovered by the staff, the woman hurriedly turned around after putting the dog down and ran towards a taxi.
The woman's judgment was correct. A few seconds after she abandoned the dog, the staff found her. Unfortunately, by the time they chased after her, the woman had already gotten into a car and left, leaving only the departing figure of the taxi.
A veterinarian would never stand by and watch a dog die. The woman probably understood this principle, which is why she left the dog at the entrance of the veterinary hospital. The staff took the dog into the hospital, only to discover that it was actually a Springer Spaniel.
To find out how the dog was abandoned, people reviewed the surveillance footage. When they saw the dog's reaction after being abandoned, many people fell silent.
When the woman put the dog on the ground, it didn't seem to realize that it had been abandoned. But after the woman turned around and took a few steps, the clever dog instantly understood that its owner probably didn't want it anymore. Dragging its crippled leg, it endured the pain and tried its best to move its body with its two front paws, barking incessantly.
Dog: Master, don't go! I'll be good from now on, please don't abandon me, okay?
Unfortunately, all that was left for the dog was a cruel back view. The owner showed no hesitation, ran into the car without looking back, and so heartlessly abandoned it on the side of the road.
The lonely dog kept its eyes fixed on the direction its owner had left. How it longed to catch up with its owner!
This dog is really well-behaved. After being taken to the hospital, it hardly barked at all. However, there was always a faint sadness in its eyes. Was it missing its owner?
The vet examined the dog and found it had a pelvic fracture. This is not an incurable disease and can be cured with surgery. Could this be the reason why the owner abandoned it?
The kind veterinarian performed a free sacral luxation surgery on the dog. The surgery was successful, and once the dog has fully recovered, the hospital will find it a reliable owner, one who will never abandon it.
Many people say that the woman who lost her dog may not be the dog's owner, but I am more inclined to believe that she is the owner, because the dog's reaction would not be fake.
The dog's feelings for her were completely different from its feelings for the veterinarian. No dog would desperately chase after a stranger. Abandoning a dog at the entrance of a pet hospital might be the owner's last shred of conscience!
Just as a person cannot guarantee that they will never get sick, the same goes for dogs. From the first day an owner brings a pet home, they should realize that their furry friend will also grow old, get sick, and die. Taking a pet to the vet is the bare minimum requirement for an owner. If you can't even do that, why did you get a pet in the first place?
We hope that every pet owner can be responsible for their pets and never abandon or give up on them.
