Dog left behind by a homeless person by the freeway - she didn't move! 😢

[@akneemoose3383]

Someone left a dog across the street from us at a construction site. She didn’t move for days and it was 110 degrees. I finally got her to cross the street and she instantly became mine. She wouldn’t eat when I left for work, 3 days, and when I got home she was fine. We had seven beautiful years together before she passed. I wept for days.
