Whenever I hear another piece of news about animal cruelty, I cannot help feeling heartbroken.
Instead of loving their pets to the moon and back, cruel people mistreat them and abuse them.
A little puppy named Baby Gina knows how it feels to endure neglect and abuse. She craved love from her owners, but sadly, they abused her and left her behind in a Bronx apartment building.
When she realized that she was abandoned, Baby Gina gathered strength and dragged her exhausted paws along the halls. She was desperately looking for someone who could help her.

The woman followed the little furry figure and was shocked when she discovered that it was a brown and white puppy.
Baby Gina was only skin and bones. The pup could barely stand on her paws. She seemed lost and confused.
