India, May 10 -- A five-year-old Pitbull-Boxer mix named Andre was found abandoned in Atlanta's Piedmont Park earlier this year, with a letter pinned to his collar. The note, left by his previous owner, read: "My dad is facing homelessness and has no one to take me. I am a really good dog. My dad's heart is broken, and no shelter will take me. Please treat Andre with love and kindness." As per a report by People, the emotional letter revealed that the dog's former owner was unable to care for him due to homelessness. The decision to leave Andre in a public place seemed to be a desperate bid to give him the best chance of being noticed and rescued.
