Cameras Catch Man Abandoning Dog in Homeowner's Back Yard — and Wait Until You Read the Devastating Note He Attached

A Houston homeowner is releasing something caught on his surveillance camera in the hope that it helps track down a person who abandoned their dog in his yard.

Last week, Quincy Bui's cameras captured a man taking the dog out of his silver truck, then walking up to the home's front door with a note.

"My dog is in your backyard," the note read. "I cannot afford her. My husband beats her and I can't let her live with us. I love her too much. Her name is Ruben-May. Thank you."

Bui brought Ruben-May, who KHOU-TV reported was in bad shape at the time, to the local animal shelter where she remains waiting for a new home.

"I don't know what type of person would do this," Bui told the news station.
