‘I suspect my neighbor has abandoned his dog’: Resident saves the life of hallway hound left outside by next-door neighbor, gets the puppy to safety and adopted into a loving home

There should be a test you have to pass to become a pet pawrent. We have no idea what that would realistically entail, but maybe some sort of psychological evaluation, some official explaining the difficulties you'll experience as a pawrent, and providing you with resources to help you on your journey to being a good owner. That way, we could avoid situations like the ones below, where a puppy was seemingly abandoned just outside his owner's door. He just let him out into the hallway, closed the door, and never paid him a second thought. As a pet pawrent ourselves, we honestly can't think of anything sadder than always being within reach of your doggo, but not giving them the love they so desperately want.

But wait! Don't start crying yet (okay, you can cry a little bit… we did). There is some sort of cosmic balance in the universe because for every person willing to abandon their pupper, there is one who is willing to save them. A wholesome resident saved this hallway hound by posting about him online, and even found someone to adopt him! Who knows what would have happened to this puppy if they hadn't shown up, but luckily, we'll never have to figure that out.
