 Anyone who is cruel enough to leave a beloved pet behind without any thought doesn't deserve to have it. This is the thinking of one man who was stunned to discover that a dog had been left behind after its family stayed in one of his Airbnb properties. After he got over the shock of the situation, he became quite fond of the animal and decided to keep him. However, weeks later the family got in touch to say they wanted their pooch back and demanded that he give him up. Unsure of what to say, he posted his story on Reddit asking for advice on how to handle things. He explained: 'I manage listings for a family member and one of them is a really low-budget place that attracts a lot of low-quality people. The latest guests exemplified that by abandoning their dog. 'When I arrived, he was in the garage barking. I also noticed he damaged the casing on the entry door from clawing at it so much. They didn't even leave him a bowl of water or food. My first thought was they were keeping him in there to keep the place clean or something, forgot about him, and left. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US . 'I messaged immediately saying their dog was still here, left in the garage. I received a response of "We know we already left and will not be coming back". That kind of floored me, and I responded, "Am I to assume then you've abandoned your dog here?" No response.' The man went on: 'Fine by me. I really hit it off with the little guy. Golden retriever. Probably somewhere between 2 and 4 years old, very loving and friendly with people. We were basically best friends within 20 minutes. My old dog died a few years back. I brought him straight home, busted out his old bowls, and got him some wet/dry mix. He now sleeps in my bed, we go on daily walks at a nature trail, the dog park, meeting all my friends and family.' Delighted by the turn of event){kind=link}
He even renamed the dog
