Imagine this: an owner who doesn’t want to or can’t take care of his dog decides it would be the most humane thing to surrender him to a shelter where he would get a second chance.

But unfortunately, that’s not what happened to this dog. He was cruelly thrown out of the car and then his owner just left.

The poor pup was devastated, but his luck would change for the better because somebody noticed his misfortune and called for help.

Ed’s New Family

When Ed was first introduced to his family in a shelter in Texas, he was completely reluctant to meet them. After the betrayal, he didn’t trust people anymore.

The staff there had notified them about Ed because he had stayed there for quite a while and it was time to find a foster home.

His mom, Kelsey, told GeoBeats Animals: “When I went to meet him, he had no interest in me. He was growling at me from behind his kennel.”

Regardless, she wanted to give him a chance, so she took him home with her. Because she lived in a house where she could foster dogs, she thought it would be a good fit for him.

After he settled into the house, his behavior changed and he was not so frightened anymore. Kelsey noticed that his tail had been cut off, and she just felt so bad for him.
