On a barren road in Lincoln County, Mississippi, Sharon Norton, an animal control officer, stumbled upon a heartbreaking scene of animal abandonment. A puppy was lying among a heap of furniture that someone had illegally dumped there. He had been left to ԁiе, but he still had hope and did not give up.
The puppy was barely alive on a chair next to a thrown-away TV set when Norton reached the scene. He was starving and feeble, but he stayed loyal to his spot, hoping that his owner would return for him.

Norton showed him some compassion and assured him that she was his friend. She fed him for the first time in days, and he relaxed with her care. He wagged his tail and felt secure in her embrace.

She vaccinated and dewormed him, then brought him to the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League in Mississippi, where he will find a new home. It’s devastating to imagine that someone could do this to an innocent animal, but Norton is confident that she will catch them. She urges anyone who knows the puppy or the recliner to help her identify the culprit.
