Dog tossed out with trash lies on family’s mattress waiting for their return

We know dogs are loyal creatures that will stand by their family’s side no matter the circumstance, but sometimes this leads to major heartbreak. Take Boo, for instance. His unconditional love landed him homeless, although we’re not exactly sure why. Whatever the reason, his story is certainly a bittersweet success story.

Boo was just a regular family dog in Detroit when his family moved out of their home. Like most people, they put a lot of their old belongings on the curb for the trash to pick up. Unlike most people, one of their trashed items was Boo. Yes, you read that right. They tossed Boo out in with the trash.

Animal lover Liz Marie noticed Boo lying on a discarded mattress outside of his old house. It seems he had no idea he was thrown away and was simply waiting for his family to return. Unfortunately, they clearly had no intentions of coming back. “This picture absolutely breaks my heart, I am literally in tears. Meet Boo, this beautiful boy was left behind with the trash and belongings when the family moved out. He stayed right by their stuff and never left it, confused and lonely,” she wrote on Facebook.

Thankfully, a foster-based rescue called Detroit Youth and Dog Rescue came to save Boo. Mike Diesel was dispatched to go and pick Boo up, but the pup was so determined to stay and wait for his family, it took 11 hours for Diesel to catch him. Once he did, though, they headed off to the vet to find even more sad news: Boo was positive for heartworm.

That wasn’t about to stop this rescue team, however. Boo was clearly a loving, devoted dog and he deserves a family that was just as loyal to him as he was to them. Boo is now being treated for heartworm and will be available for adoption after he recovers. Diesel has been visiting Boo at the animal hospital and the pup’s affection proves that he really is a loving, affectionate companion. He deserves far more love than his previous family had to offer and we’d like to thank Detroit Youth and Dog Rescue for giving this boy a second chance!
