Key Highlights A white Pomeranian dog was abandoned by its owner for having an "illicit relationship" The three-year-old dog was found abandoned with a note in its collar

Thiruvananthapuram: In a shocking incident reported from Kerala, a three-year-old pet dog was abandoned by its owner as it was having an "illicit relationship" with another dog in the neighbourhood. The incident was reported from World Market in Chackai, Thiruvananthapuram.

The white Pomeranian dog was found abandoned with a note attached to its collar. In the note, the owner said that they were fed up with their pet's "illicit relationship" and had to abandon it. When a passerby saw the abandoned dog, an NGO called People for Animals (PFA) was alerted.

PFA volunteer Shameen Faroof who picked up the dog was shocked to read the note that read, "It is a nice breed. Well-behaved... she has many good qualities and takes minimum food only. She is healthy and free from all diseases. It only barks and in three years it did not bite anyone. Main food is milk, raw eggs and biscuits. Recently, it developed an illicit relation with a dog next door so I am abandoning it."

"I have rescued many animals. But this is the first of its sort. The dog is in heat. If the arrogant owner did not want it to breed, there is sterlilisation. It is free in many vet hospitals in Kerala. But this is a ridiculous reason to abandon such a cute animal," Farooq said.

Many dog lovers have come forward to adopt the Pomeranian, however, Farooq said that they are waiting for some time in hopes that its owner could have a change of heart.

Many owners have abandoned their pets in the past when the animals became sick or old, however, this was the first time that Farooq came across a case that involved "moral turpitude".

In another incident, a Russian woman abandoned her canine when she found out that she was allergic to dogs. She sent the animal back to the dog shelter where it was born. however, the loyal dog escaped the train and trekked 201 kilometres to return to its owner.
