A dog was spotted being tied to a fire hydrant with a bag full of toys and a devastating letter from her previous owner.

In a heartbreaking scene, a dog was found abandoned on a street, accompanied by a bag filled with toys and a devastating letter from its owner. 

The letter revealed the dog's disease and the owner's inability to care for the beloved pet due to personal circumstances.

The dog was discovered tied to a fire hydrant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.

Recently, the animal rescue team received a report from a passerby about an abandoned dog tied to a fire hydrant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, US.

The rescue team quickly arrived at the scene to pick up the dog and bring it to the rescue camp.

After untying the poor dog, they discovered a heartbreaking letter from the dog's owner revealing why they decided to leave the dog on the side of the road.

One of the rescuers shared: "The dog was very sad and confused when we untied it, it was heartbreaking that she was left in this place."

The dog was diagnosed with canine diabetes

Although the full content of the letter was not disclosed, the rescue team said that the owner had difficulty paying the dog's medical expenses and that they were having health problems.

The rescue team took the dog to a veterinary hospital for a routine check-up and discovered the dog had canine diabetes, which causes increased blood sugar levels.

Health workers emphasize this is a costly disease in both humans and animals. They have to buy insulin every month and many other medical supplies to support treatment.

Fees can cost hundreds of dollars per month depending on the diagnosis of the veterinarian and the cost of supplies in each area.

The Wisconsin Humane Society believes that the decision to give up the dog came from the owner's desperation and serious financial problems.

The rescue team still thanked the owner for trying their best to treat him until they were no longer able to support the dog.

A rescuer analyzed that the owner wisely placed the girl in a crowded place where someone could quickly steal her. They also revealed that the owner left a plea for someone to help the dog as they were no longer able to treat the beloved dog.

After the story spread on social media, many people contacted the organization to financially support the dog's treatment.

The rescue team also revealed that they have contacted the dog's former owner and that they completely respect her decision and are grateful for the love she has given to her dog.
