When a family loses their dog, it can feel like a member of the family has died, which is why most are completely overjoyed when they find out the good news that their beloved pup has been found.
A California family’s German Shepherd had recently hopped the backyard fence and escaped to a neighbor’s yard, and was then picked up by an animal control officer who brought her back to the shelter to await being picked up. And when the family received a call that their dog was safely waiting for them, they immediately went down to the shelter.
Once they arrived at the shelter, the dog was thrilled to see her family, and couldn’t help but go up to the fence and lovingly kiss their hands. “Doing Dog Intros we got [interrupted] by a distracted and overly excited Zuzu,” said Desi Lara. “With her fast wagging tail seeing her owners Zuzu lite up like a Christmas Tree. She looked like the happiest dog.”
“Yeah, she’s going home. But No,” Lara explained. “Talking to her owners they told me they were not here to reclaim her, they were getting another dog. Their reason was because she was crying and sad since her father passed away. She wasn’t a happy dog anymore. Their solutions for her unhappiness was just leaving her here! And go get another dog.”
The devastated dog, who the shelter renamed Zuzu, was crushed as her family walked away and watched as they brought a new dog home instead. But now the shelter has made it their mission to find a loving family who will never abandon her. “She was re-named Zuzu! After the daughter in the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. Why, because we are going to post, tag and share her and give her a New life. A wonderful life!”
