ShreyaFacts About Terriers
Terriers do not shed hair. That means their hair can keep growing like that of humans. Since they do not shed, there is a lot less fuss. Terriers make funny noises; when sneezing they gasp for air instead of letting it out and make a honk sound like a goose. It is just cute, nothing harmful or worrisome about it. Even though they are small and weigh only up to 7 pounds they are brave dogs capable to take on animals much larger than their sizes. Why would someone abandon a dog like this?
The Shameless Note
The note is anonymous and tried to explain why the person abandoned Tessa. Apparently, Tessa was left ‘forcefully’ to the care of this person who was trusted with her by her neighbor who went to Canada. Alan personally believed that the neighbor going to Canada was a lie and person who had written the note was the actual owner who was now tired of taking care of Tessa as she was growing old.
Why Take Her Then?
When they dug deeper into the case they found something else. The note did not end there, it went on providing justifications. When Alan read it, he responded, “He has just dumped her at the car boot, it is wrong.” The note, after giving Tessa’s name and age went on the say that Tessa had been put to her care by his neighbor who was leaving for Canada and he ‘reluctantly’ took charge of her but he knew from the beginning that he was not going to keep Tessa.
Disgraceful
The question that arises is, why did he agree to take care of her then? Maybe the neighbor would have found someone who actually loved dogs and did not mind having one in their homes. Alan, in his anger, questioned, “What if we hadn’t of been there for whatever reason that morning? He used us as an excuse.” The note did not end here.
Betrayal
The note went on to give instructions about Tessa’s likes as far as food was concerned. She likes tea, coffee, and watered milk and takes her first meal after 11.30am. These were probably the instructions that this anonymous person got from the owner of Tessa on how to take care of her. The neighbor clearly trusted this person to take good care of Tessa but he betrayed her trust but abandoning her dog.
Sorry?
It was later found that there was an owner, who when she found out how her dog had been treated, burst into tears as she thought she was leaving Tessa behind in good hands. The note ended with saying “Sorry for the above. I don’t need a dog.” How a person can assume that a sorry might make up for the trauma and abandonment that he made a loved dog go through, is something incomprehensible.
