When a dog named Raymond was brought to a hiking trail in Michigan earlier this month, he probably thought he was about to go on a fun walk. Instead, he was dumped there all by himself and watched his caretakers leave without him.
Day after day, for five long days, he sat on a pile of wood chips overlooking the parking lot, waiting for his ‘family’ to come back,” The KG Foundation wrote on TikTok.
Hikers started noticing the abandoned pup and realized he was in trouble. One woman even tried to trap Raymond herself, but he wouldn’t get anywhere near her.
When people approached him trying to help, he would run away and disappear, only to come back to his wood chip pile, patiently waiting for his people,” The KG Foundation said.
Realizing she couldn’t save Raymond by herself, the woman reached out to The KG Foundation for assistance. Jordan Covington, founder of The KG Foundation, arrived at the park prepared for a days-long rescue mission.
But as soon as she held out food for Raymond to sniff, he just walked right up to her. He was starving and defeated from the five days he’d spent surviving on his own.
