Dog Tied To A Pole, Abandoned With A Note In 25-Degree Weather

Cranford, NJ – Police in Cranford are hoping to find the person who tied a dog to a pole, abandoning him in freezing, 25-degree weather. The Cranford Police Department said that the dog was discovered tied to a pole on Lexington Avenue near Unami Park.

Abandoned dog left tied to pole in freezing temperatures.

The person who left him wrote a note on a piece of cardboard that reads, “Name: Zeus, Not Rabid, No Biting, Need a home.”

Comments on the police department’s Facebook post range from anger over someone leaving this dog in frigid conditions, to compassion that someone left information with Zeus with the hope that he would find a home and get the help that he needs.

Where do you stand? Was this an act of desperation by someone or do you believe it is cruelty, regardless of the situation?
