So many people don’t see the faces of their pets when they’re surrendered. Once they turn their back on their former-friend, that’s the end of the story for them, and there are little to no consequences.

But what about the poor animal they’ve left behind? For them, the loneliness, confusion and fear is the start of a new reality that they had no choice in.

The video below recently went viral – and with good reason. The look on this poor abandoned dog’s face is one of just pure hopelessness. The heartbreak written all over every inch brings her reality to the viewer – she is hurt, she is alone, and this happens to a countless number of dogs and cats all over the world, every day.

If heartache had a face, that would be it. Electra has been adopted, but there are so many more pets out there still waiting for their forever and foster homes.
