While one family chooses to muzzle their dog around their kid instead of rehoming them, another family dumps their senior dog at a shelter.

An animal rescuer from South Florida shares the heartbreaking story of a senior dog who got dumped by his family of 13 years.

Dali, or @_thatdoggirl_, on TikTok shared Ammo’s story in a video that now has almost 2 million views and 230,000 likes.

Dali reveals that Ammo has lived with his family for 13 years. And they just dumped him at the shelter because the family’s baby “stepped on his tail and he bit the baby”.

The animal rescuer further reveals that when his family left, the pooch kept on crying and crying at the door and that he looked so confused and scared.

In the video shared by Dali, you can see the dog looking visibly sad even when he is being pet and stroked.

“Please help him find a forever home. He’s a good boy,” Dali wrote in the video’s caption.

TikTok users were devasted to hear about Ammo’s situation and were furious at the irresponsibility of the pooch’s previous family.

One TikTok user wrote, “To have him for 13 years and then dump him off at the shelter because THEY couldn’t watch their child and protect their senior dog? people are awful. I hope he finds the love he deserves.”

“No pup should have to live out their senior days at a shelter,” another wrote.

Others were also sharing their experiences about their dogs biting their children but still taking responsibility of the situations because pets are family too.

“This happened to my toddler and took him to the hospital, got a washout done of the bite, went home and kept a better eye on them both so it wouldn’t happen again! it’s called being responsible,” one user shared.

Another TikTok user wrote, “My fur baby bit my son’s face( my son is a bit naughty) but it never came into my mind to surrender or abandon dog. They’re family not just a pet. How cruel are they after spending 13 years with them.”

Ammo is currently at a no-kill shelter called Saving Sage Animal Rescue and is still waiting for a loving home where he could spend his days being loved and cared for.
