Dogs are truly our best friends, offering unconditional love and loyalty. Yet, there are moments when humanity falls short of deserving them. Take Snoop, for example — his heartbreaking story went viral years ago after he was abandoned by his owner on the side of a road in England.
Snoop was found lying in the bed his owner had cruelly thrown out with him, a heartbreaking scene noticed by a passing stranger. The kind passerby picked him up and brought him to a shelter.
Once a joyful and loving dog, Snoop fell into deep sadness. For months, he waited, mourning and hoping his owner would return for him. But that day never came.
Thankfully, Snoop’s story took a beautiful turn the following year when he found not just an owner, but the perfect forever home.
Here’s the full story!
Snoop Was Abandoned By His Owner On The Road
In 2018, a heartbreaking scene unfolded on a roadside in Stoke-on-Trent. A man pulled over, and his dog, Snoop, a gentle Staffordshire Bull Terrier, eagerly hopped out of the car, his tail wagging with trust and excitement—completely unaware of what was about to happen.
The man placed Snoop’s dog bed on the pavement, turned back to his car, and sped away without looking back. Confused and desperate, Snoop chased after the car, begging to be let back in. But his owner was gone, leaving this loyal dog abandoned and alone.
Heartbroken and confused, Snoop eventually gave up chasing and returned to his dog bed on the roadside. He curled up and lay there, patiently waiting for his owner to come back.
Hours passed, and Snoop remained in his bed, alone and vulnerable. Finally, a kind passerby noticed the sleeping dog and immediately stopped. Realizing the situation, they gently picked up Snoop and took him to a local shelter, giving him a chance at a new beginning.
Snoop’s heartbreaking story captured global attention when the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) shared it on air. The tale of his abandonment, resilience, and hope quickly went viral, touching hearts worldwide and sparking an outpouring of love and support for this loyal dog.
