When an adorable young pit bull pup named Zimba embarked on a cross-country road trip with his human owner’s boyfriend, the last thing he expected was to get abandoned thousands of miles from home.

A breakup between his owner and the boyfriend midway through the trip, though, left Zimba out in the cold—literally. The ex-boyfriend abandoned him in Caroline County, Maryland, a whopping 1,300 miles away from his home in Wichita, Kansas.
