Sometimes you have to make a difficult decision to do right by somebody else - no matter how painful it might be for you. A 12-year-old boy made the heartbreaking decision to rehome his beloved dog because it was being illtreated by his dad.
Leaving the dog in a cardboard box outside a rescue centre, the boy, named Andrés, from Mexico, made sure to pack the pup's favourite teddy bear with him. He also left a note explaining why his dog, now named Rene, would be better off with somebody else.
