“It was tethered with a jacket on and had a harness and she’s obviously loved,” Sarah Jones, executive director of the Langley Animal Protection Society told Global News.
“There was a small piece of blanket left as well.”
Jones said Luna was very scared, barking at everyone, and it took 40 minutes and some hot dogs until staff could approach and untie her.
“It’s heartbreaking,” she said.
“Obviously, someone couldn’t care for her. anymore. And so they made that desperate decision to leave her here with us, but we wanted to know more background so we can help her.”
Jones said they posted on their Facebook page about the dog, asking if anyone knew her and someone messaged them saying they did and from there staff were able to track down Luna’s owner.
