This heartbreaking picture shows a patient dog waiting on an old mattress in the front yard of an abandoned house. He is waiting for his owners to come back after being cruelly left behind. He doesn’t want to leave the belongings they left, as they still smell like his owners.

According to the Inside Edition, Mike Diesel is the founder of Detroit Youth & Dog Rescue. Three years ago, Mike came across this very picture. Boo, who is a pit bull terrier mix, was caught sleeping in the empty yard, waiting for owners who would never return.

Diesel told WXYZ News that the owners did, in fact, come back one time. They took some of their belongings with them, but Boo was unfortunately one they decided not to keep.

Liz Marie, who accompanied Diesel to the house that day, shared pictures of the abandoned dog on their Facebook page. She wrote that the dog stayed right by their abandoned belongings in the front yard, lonely and confused. He wasn’t very trusting of strangers at that time, either.

Diesel believed that Boo stayed on the old mattress because it smelled like his past owners. He was staying there, hoping that they would one day return to get him. He went on to say that they had to bribe Boo for two days to get him to leave. They used McDonald’s and other food in order to gain the dog’s trust.

Diesel was eventually able to pry Boo away from the mattress after talking to him and convincing the dog that he wasn’t going to hurt him. When they finally managed to get Boo on a leash, they took him to Groesbeck Animal Hospital. When the staff examined Boo, they realized that he had contracted heartworm during his time outdoors.

While the dog was scared to go with humans at first, he began to open up while he was in the care of loved ones. He started wagging his tail when he came in and opened up to those around him.

Boo was eventually placed in foster care. He stayed there while the family tried to get him adopted out. However, his foster family adored him so much that they decided to make him a permanent fixture. Boo found his forever home!

We are so glad that Boo found a family who would love him forever! Leave us a comment below and then pass this story on!
