A young boy named Andres made the hardest decision for his beloved family dog, a Pittie named Rene. With his mom’s support, this brave boy placed his furry friend in a cardboard box and took him to a local rescue. According to the rescue’s Facebook page, they left Rene right at the doorstep.

When the shelter staff discovered Rene in the box, they were stunned. But then, a little note revealed everything and brought everyone to tears.

The note read: “My mom and I decided to leave my dog in your care, hiding it from my dad because he wants to sell him. But he mistreats and kicks him. One day he kicked him so hard that he hurt his tail. I hope you can help and take care of him.”

Alongside the note, there was a small Teddy bear – Rene’s favorite toy that Andres left for his buddy. The boy wanted to give his dog one last memory, a lifelong reminder of his human brother.

Once the rescue shared the story, hundreds of people reached out, eager to know about Rene’s condition.

Rene’s Journey to Recovery

After being taken in by the shelter, Rene needed a thorough examination. The staff discovered he had an injured tail, a result of the mistreatment in his previous home.

The boy’s father intended to sell Rene, but thanks to the brave and selfless actions of his young owner, Rene was saved just in time.

Rene is currently in recovery and already showing signs of improvement. He is now part of a big family of dogs, and the rescuers are confident that when the time is right, he will find a loving home and a family that will welcome him with open arms.

According to his caregivers, Rene is nothing short of a sweet lovebug – playful and affectionate towards everyone. He seems to prefer bigger dogs and adults but can get along with anyone with the right introduction.

There’s no doubt that Rene will find a wonderful home and live a great life, all thanks to his little savior, Andres.
