Imagine you walk down the street and see a house for rent. In front of the house on the sidewalk, the former tenants have left behind everything they didn’t want to take with them, including an old mattress and some furniture. There’s one more thing they didn’t care enough to take with them: their dog.
This is what happened a few years ago in Detroit, where the founder of Detroit Youth & Dog Rescue, known as Mike Diesel, saw a Facebook post about a dog sleeping in the front yard of an empty home.
