Enduring financial hardship, lately, some pet owners have had to make hard choices to surrender their furry friends.

A photo of a nearly 6-year-old dog left leashed to a fire hydrant went viral on Facebook. She was left with a backpack full of treats and her favorite toys and a note from her former owners, who could not care for the poor pooch any longer.
