Banjo the dog was abandoned on a dirt road and for 5 days he refused to leave the spot. Instead, he stood outside in the freezing cold and ate sticks to fend off his hunger while he waited for his heartless owners to return. They never came, but Brooke Rapozo with Kings SPCA Rescue in California did.
When she saw him he was scared and curled up in a ball. He was afraid of anyone approaching, but she began to feed him and trying to earn his trust, which she finally did. Brooke was so appalled by Banjo’s predicament she wrote an emotional, open letter to his former owner. She begins “Dear The Callous POS owner of this dog”.
What she wrote went gone viral and as for Banjo, he couldn’t be happier. Wait until you see.
“Dear The Callous POS owner of this dog,
“Today we noticed a couple of emails from people that had noticed your dog that had been abandoned on 15th ave and Excelsior ave. After looking at date, your dog had been sitting there since Saturday morning at least. It was 3:00 pm today when we finally noticed the messages because we have been so busy. We decided to drive over and see if we could help. Sure enough there he was.
“He waited for you.
“He hadn’t left the place you made him stay. He was being a good dog. He stayed close to the last place he saw his favorite person in the world. He thought you were coming back. He was watching every car that would come down the road hoping it was you coming back for him. Your dog has been freezing, hungry, and scared for days because you are a heartless piece of crap.
“He waited for you.”
“He was so hungry that he was eating sticks. Nice people had stopped to drop off food but he was still so hungry and confused. But even with food sitting in front of him he knew he had to wait for you to come back.
“He waited for you.
“He isn’t a bad dog. He is a very good dog. You were a bad friend. You abandoned someone that would give his life for you. Someone who doesn’t care how long you stayed away at work. Someone who is just as happy to see you if u just go outside to check the mail or if you leave for days. Someone who would lick the tears off your cheeks and the leftover food from your plate when you were done eating.
“He won’t be waiting for you anymore.”
