Waiting In Vain

The pup didn’t know what was going on at first. He was lying under the tree and looking around, convinced that he would soon see his family returning for him.
While the shelter staff and volunteers were taking dogs for a walk, they spotted Oak tethered to a magnolia tree. His beautiful eyes were dimmed with sadness.
The staff felt devastated for the pup. They knew that they had to help him, although the shelter was forced to suspend taking in dogs since they were over capacity.
