Many people get the chance to reflect on wonderful moments spent with loved ones, family get-togethers, and friends as the new year gets underway.

Sadly, it did not occur in the case of the dejected dog who, three months later, was still wearing the bright green  Christmas sweater and longed to be adopted.

The puppy’s sad look speaks for itself.

Bobby is a sad-looking tiny  dog with a bad name who was tragically abandoned by the family he had so completely trusted.

His owners left him in a shelter and took away his collar and  leash, leaving him in a dreadful state of distress and bewilderment.

Volunteers at the Miami-Dade Animal Services Shelter were hopeful that Bobby would be lucky this  Christmas despite his traumatic past.

In an effort to find him a home, they dressed him in a plush green sweater and posted a picture of him online.

He constantly sits dejectedly in the same spot.

Even though Bobby’s picture went viral and plenty of people fell in love with his story, the days passed,  Christmas came and went, and he still didn’t have a family to give him a loving home.

The furry’s situation provoked a red code at the shelter, placing him at the top of a list that only contains  puppies who would be sacrificed since his reality was too grim.

Because of his intelligence, Bobby the tiny  dog was killed rather than made to feel unhappy.

Due to the ignorant greed of people who couldn’t comprehend how special he is, he came to the realization that he was in danger of dying.

All it took was for one family to place a wager on him.
