On a good day at an airport, a kind Samaritan walks into a restroom in the Las Vegas Airport on a weekend. As soon as eyes are laid on a puppy Chihuahua, someone might feel resentment towards the person who would abandon their pet just like that. However, as far as that sort of resentment is allowed, it quickly went away as soon as the founder read the note beside the pup. The note started by introducing the puppy. Chewy, a pup who was petted by someone who was in an abusive relationship. According to the note, the owner was trying to flee from her ex-boyfriend with her puppy Chihuahua. However, she couldn’t take Chewy with herself because she couldn’t afford to take him on-board. In a fight, the ex-boyfriend had kicked the puppy which leads to him having an injury on his head.
