Dogs are said to be man's best friend. Canines have been there for us since the beginning of time, loving us unconditionally. Dogs are excellent companion pets, and many are trained to assist us in our day-to-day living or specific tasks, such as working with law enforcement or as guard dogs.

Other dogs are just born heroic and perform incredible life-saving feats without any training. So how could we so callously discard them?

Electra, a beautiful blue pit bull terrier, may never know the reason why, but she definitely knows heartache! The moment that the gorgeous dog realizes she has been surrendered to a shelter was caught on tape, and her heartache is gut-wrenching.

Her head and ears hang low; Electra's sorrow can be seen as she thumps her tail briefly. The bewildered pooch steps forward in the pen, frightened and sad, searching for the sign of something familiar and comfort. Electra was surrendered to the Inland Valley Humane Society in California.

The video was captured by Lolys Menchaka, who works at the shelter and assists in finding new homes for the animals.

"I don't like to judge people, but these dogs come into the receiving department with their owners, happy and proud," Lolys shared on Facebook. "They don't understand what's happening. I wish I could understand everyone that surrenders their pet for adoption. Electra represents the face of sadness and the reality of shelters."

Internet viewers wasted no time in expressing their regret in the owner's actions and their love for man's best friend. "I wish I could give her a home," one person said, after viewing the video.

Dog expert Cesar Milan operates the website Cesar's Way. Cesar warns people who want dogs to carefully consider the commitment involved in being a responsible dog owner. The site suggests that owners attempt to utilize services such as dog sitters or fostering and re-homing before surrendering their dog to a shelter.
