The elderly dog found in the public toilet with a heartbreaking note from a struggling family

DOGS

The other day, Louisiana animal control officers received a call about an elderly dog that appeared to be abandoned in the public restroom at Splash Park in Destrehan.

A team rushed to the scene where they found an old Black Lab. The dog looked in pretty good shape, though. Next to her, the officers found a bottle of water and a strange note.

«Be nice 2 dog – I got stuck without a car – come back soon – give my dog water – come back in the morning,» the note says.

However, animal control officers took the dog, named Ladybird, to the St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter to keep her safe and wait for her owner to eventually return to pick her up.

But Ladybird was far from abandoned. And the shelter staff found out the next morning when its owner called.

The next morning, when Ladybird’s owner returned to the place where he had left his dog and realized that she was no longer there, he immediately called animal control.

That’s how he discovered where his beloved dog really was. That’s when everyone learned their sad story!Le chien âgé trouvé dans les toilettes publiques avec une note déchirante d’une famille en difficulté

«He called us and said he still wanted Ladybird, but only needed a few weeks to get back on his feet,» said Dr. Jena Troxler, head of the animal shelter.

«Ladybird and [her human] are homeless, and he lives in [a shelter] trying to save his money so that he and Ladybird can return to North Carolina where his family is ready to help him get back on his feet.»
It turned out that Ladybird and her human form an inseparable duo since the cute lab was only six weeks old and since they had traveled all over the world.

But the past few months have been more difficult than expected, so they found themselves on the street with no money to return to their family in North Carolina.

Everyone at the shelter was touched by the story, so they rushed to help Ladybird and her faithful owner. With the help of Turning Rescues into Pets and Wings of Rescue, the long-awaited reunion was possible.

«You can really tell how much Ladybird means to him and we are happy to contribute to his safety until they can be together again,» said Dr. Troxler. «She has definitely been one of the favorites of the staff here at the shelter. Ladybird has had quite an adventure recently.
