Pooches are the cutest. When one adopts a dog, it is their responsibility to take full care of them.
There are instances where dogs have proven their loyalty by saving the lives of their owners. But even their unmatched loyalty is not enough for the heartless people who abandon pets, pets who have been with them for years, pets we’ve come to call family.
For a creature who can’t even speak, the heartbreak can be earth-shattering.

The abandoned doggos, terrified after being abandoned suddenly and without reaon, develop acquire serious trust issues, and in some cases severe depression.
A couple of days ago an abandoned puppy was found sitting and whimpering on an arm chair resting beside a discarded television by the roadside.
This was on a Brookhaven roadside; the dog was starving and scared.
Sharon Norton who works with Brookhaven Police Department in Mississippi, got a call on Lost and Found Pets in Lincoln County, MS on the morning of June 24 to check on a pooch abandoned on the side of Brookhaven road, according to her Facebook post.

Reportedly, a woman witnessed a truck dumping furniture, the television and the little pup on the Gaston Trail.
She immediately informed animal control and even put up a Facebook post with the pictures of the dog who appears to be frightened and in a pitiable condition.
She wrote, ‘I get a message this morning to go check out this dog that’s in the chair, this is what I pulled up and seen.’
The image of the starving pup has been breaking hearts since then and its unknown owner has got a lot of criticism for this cowardly act.
The skinny puppy was starving but it did not get up from the armchair to look for food as it was waiting for its owner to return. He did not move from the old armchair which lay on the roadside along with a mattress and a broken television.
Her Facebook post continues, ‘To the person that dumped this chair, your puppy was waiting for you to come back, slowly starving to death because it was afraid to leave the chair to find food.’

The puppy was reportedly taken to the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League where it will get the medical attention it needs, and will then be put up for adoption. While the pooch steals hearts all over the internet and waits for a new forever-home, Norton named him Lazy Boy Gaston/ Armchair Bandit.
Facebook users condemned the owner’s act and are sending love to the pooch, and some even suggested that the little guy be adopted.

We just hope that after all its suffering Armchair Bandit finds a loving and caring home which values it.
