Recently, a German Shepherd was found abandoned in a bustling market in Delhi, India. Despite being left behind by her owner, the loyal dog waited for eight hours on a scooter, hoping for her owner's return. This heartbreaking scene touched the hearts of many passersby.
Animal welfare volunteer Ajay Joe shared the story on social media, highlighting the dog's plight. He reported that one evening, a German Shepherd was cruelly left in a corner of the market by her owner, who clearly intended to abandon her. Not understanding why her owner had done this, the dog remained patiently on the scooter, waiting for someone to change their mind.

The dog's solitary figure drew attention from the public, evoking sympathy and concern. Ajay Joe mentioned that he stayed with the dog until 3 AM, ensuring she was fed and comfortable. Despite efforts to locate her owner, he never appeared. Eventually, arrangements were made to transport the dog to a safer location.
After her rescue, it was revealed that the dog is female and has since been renamed "Swiggy" in honor of a delivery platform's initiative aimed at reuniting lost pets with their owners. Joe expressed outrage at the abandonment, stating that such acts are among the most heartless things a person can do.
