A Nevada woman who returned home to find an abandoned puppy outside her door was disgusted when she reviewed security camera footage and found that the dog had been cruelly left behind.
Toni Luisi of Henderson, Nevada, has released the heartbreaking footage in a bid to help find the dog – who she has named Graci - a loving home and shame the owner who abandoned her.
‘I mean, how do they treat their children if this is how they treat their dog?’ said Luisi.
Luisi returned home on May 5 to find the distressed puppy loitering around outside the gates of her home.
Initially she thought the dog must belong to someone nearby, but when she reviewed the video footage she was shocked at what she saw.
An SUV had slowly driven into the cul-du-sac where she lives and then let the animal out before quickly driving off while the confused puppy tried to follow.
‘I just feel really bad that someone could actually just open the car door and just dump this beautiful animal,’ Luisi told KTLA.

lol! Snuggles sometimes thinks she’s a guard dog - no chipmunk, rabbit or squirrel is safe if it sets foot on our porch!
Very glad to hear the pup ended up in a better home.
Me and mine often say we will end up being one of those “crazy cat/dog” people - trying to rescue them all, small smile.
You know anybody in nevada who would like to take in a puppy?
“That puppy was young & small enough not to have made it through the night if I had not come upon it.”
I have a friend who lives outside a university town in Alabama. He’s on a farm and has taken in dozens of abandoned animals. He says he sometimes sits in his house and sees the kids dropping them off.
I just can’t imagine abandoning a pet. I’m a cat guy and I can’t imagine anything more loving and trusting than a cat you’ve raised.
From what I heard, the lady saw the dog and took her in..even if she does not end up keeping her, the doggy will find a great home..I hate hearing stories like this..we took in our neighborhood Shih Tzu Maxie because the couple on our block could no longer take care of him..I didnt want him to end up in some shelter so we took him, best decision we made, we love him just like we love our Pomeranian Mix Nemo..both our best boys
The large sedan slowed down right in from of my house, opened the passenger door and shoved out two dogs - one large and one small. Then, the driver sped away.
I remember the shock and anger I felt as these poor dogs ran frantically after the no-good son-of-a-bitch who abandoned them.
My sister once saw a neighbors kitten wandering the street. She scooped up the kitten, took it to the neighbor who owned it, only to be told that he didnt want the kitten anymore. It had chewed up one of his expensive house plants, so he tossed her out of his house and into the streets for good.
My sister simply took the cat home and she lived with us for over 20 years, until she passed away. The cat’s favorite thing to do was to climb up onto my left shoulder and just lay there, making herself comfortable. And she would gladly press her head and face into my cheek each and every time I would ask her for a hug.
My neighbors loss was my incredible gain.

As a kid many lunars ago I was riding my bike home on a busy street when up ahead a car stopped and let a small dog out and sped away. The next car the dog ran in the middle of the road and got killed and that car didn’t bother to stop. It was a sad moment for me standing over that poor little dead dog in the road. Some people just plain shuck to shinola.
It happens all the time in our neighborhood which is located a couple of blocks from a large apt complex. People get a dog then when they have to move or they find out its hard to have a dog in an apt. they drive over in our neighborhood and dump it out.
Our Chihuahua Coco who is just the prettiest dearest dog on earth was running up and down the street craning up to look in every car that passed to see if it was her owner. It was just pitiful. After a few days I couldn’t take it anymore and brought her into our house. You could tell where she had had a collar and they just took it off and then dumped her.
Our other dog Buddy who passed in March was dumped at the lake behind our house about 12 years ago. He had a crippled back leg so I was afraid if Animal Control got him they would just put him to sleep. I took him also and he was just the greatest dog ever. We are still not over losing him.
Not too long ago I needed new tires on my car. I went to the tire place and waited while they put new tires on my car. A friendly cat would enter the waiting room and I would pet it. The receptionist told me that they had plenty of cats on the property because people were actually abandoning them there at that tire place. The owners of the tire place would actually take these abandoned cats to a local vet to get them shots and spayed and neutered, then bring them back to the tire place and let them live there, feed them, until they found someone to adopt these cats.
We live out in the sticks. We had a kitten climb on to our deck start playing our children. Tiny thing - couldn’t have been weaned long.
We still have her, and she is my favorite cat - Archie the Volunteer.
Poor dog. Sad anyone would do that. Nice to have that camera, now she knows no point in reporting “found dog”,
But I doubt there is Lab in there. Likely a cover for what type it really includes.
One of the most cruel things I ever saw was when my landlord evicted a female and her offspring from one of his other apartments. She left a cat locked in the apartment, no food, water, or litter box. Just left it to die. By law, the landlord wasn’t supposed to be able to enter the apartment for 30 days following the eviction, so she knew the cat would be long dead by the time anybody found it. We saw the cat sitting in a window and called the landlord. Poor thing had been in there with no food or water for almost a week by the time they got it out.
I’ve come to the conclusion that a cat who adopts us is far more affectionate than the other way around. We’ve had this kitty since about 2006. Our vet estimated she was around 6 months old. She likes to watch tv with us, perched most of the time on my husband’s lap (she likes his blue jeans, I think). When she hears the intro to whatever series we’re watching, she comes running. If we decide to not watch anything in the evening, she comes and complains about the disruption to her routine. When she gets my husband up in the morning on time, she gets a treat. Consequently, she sometimes tries to get him up VERY early. :-)
Oh, yeah...I have cared for some of the cats abandoned by sociopaths here in soviet Red Hampshire.
I live in a tourist town. Those same college kids come here to work in the summer, get pets and in the fall take them out to the woods and let them go. Food for coyotes and mountain lions.
“She left a cat locked in the apartment, no food, water, or litter box. Just left it to die.”
People who do one “wrong” thing seldom leave it at that. There is something wrong with everything they touch. That woman was a classic sociopath. (At the very least.) I knew a guy who cleans student housing. He reported finding abandoned pets also; just left there.
Some of my friends call me paranoid because I don’t easily trust people. I have seen and read about too much of this sort of thing. The people who do things like this are often personable and seemingly friendly.
My mother used to say, “You watch how people treat others because one day they’ll treat you the same way.” Not only is that true, but it includes how they treat pets.
“Those same college kids come here to work in the summer, get pets and in the fall take them out to the woods and let them go.”
I would so much like to have another cat or a dog. But it’s like adopting a child. As it is, I have to make suitable arrangements for somebody to come in and take care of my cat when I must leave her. (I won’t take her to a kennel as that’s too damaging to cats.) I have in my will that whoever takes my pet at the time is generously compensated. When I leave the house I always have out several days food and water in case I get hurt or killed and can’t return. That gives my relatives time enough to arrive.
