A family had a 1-year-old Yorkiepoo dog that they kept outside at all times, without training, socialization, or affection. They planned to shoot the dog if they couldn't find it a new home. A friend offered to take the dog but when she arrived, they said the dog had died. The small dog was found partially frozen in its water dish, having lived a lonely existence with no love or attention from its family. Its death serves as a reminder of why animal rescue and advocacy is so important.
