On December 23, two days before Christmas, the holiday spirit is already very strong, it was the time to reunite families and celebrate the holidays, a 3-year-old boy and his pet dog in Ohio were abandoned by his parents, but with the help of strangers around, the ending is particularly heartwarming.
According to media reports, at noon that day, the Hinckley Police Department (Hinckley Police Department) received a report that a witness said she went to the Hope Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Hinckley to pay tribute to her deceased loved ones when she saw a blue medium-sized car parked in the driveway of the northeast corner of the cemetery, blocking her way. As she rounded the car, she saw the blue car suddenly accelerate away.
At the same time, she noticed a young boy with bare feet running desperately after the car, followed by a dog. But the car made no attempt to stop, instead driving away from the cemetery onto SR303 and then heading west quickly.
The alert witness determined that the owner of the blue car had apparently abandoned the boy and dog at the cemetery in the dead of winter, when it was cold and there was no one around, and immediately called the police for help.
Police quickly rushed to the scene, arriving at 12:16 p.m. and found the boy standing in the cemetery with his dog. To the relief of the police, witnesses remained at the scene and provided further details about the blue vehicle.
After questioning the little boy named Tony (Tony), only 3 years old, not yet clear what happened to him, not only did not wear shoes, even the clothes on his body are wet, because of the age of too young, even can not call the name of his parents.
