Desiring the best for your child is a natural emotion for a parent. The fact that your Baby Girl has a bright future ahead of her is a consoling thought, though.

On the yard of a residential street in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the weekend, a dog named Baby Girl sat quietly. It looked like it was looking forward to its owner’s return because it was leashed to a fire hydrant. Kylie Rose Engelhardt took that to be true at first glance. Baby Girl, thankfully, didn’t have to brave the cold weather by herself. The dog was noticed by Engelhardt, who paused to ensure its safety. She posted on Facebook about how she waited outside for someone to come back for an hour, but sadly, no one did. She also gave the dog some warmth. Next to her, with a heartbreaking note, lay Baby Girl’s backpack filled with all of her favorite things—food, snacks, and toys. Baby Girl was taken to the Wisconsin Humane Society by Engelhardt as soon as she realized she was abandoned.

As she said she had given it her all, Engelhardt expressed regret and disappointment. In recent days, a lot of curiosity has been sparked by the picture of Baby Girl alone with her possessions. In spite of this, the shelter says the 5-year-old dog is doing great and is getting lots of love and attention from its personnel. As vice president of communications at the shelter, Angela Speed said that Baby Girl is a happy, loving puppy who likes walks, toys, and sweets. The prior owner of Baby Girl was directly addressed in a touching statement posted on Facebook by the Wisconsin Humane Society.

In order for Baby Girl to be located and taken care of as soon as possible, the owner needed to know that society did not hold them in low regard and that they, the owner, were greatly appreciated.
