Man Leaves His Pit Bull Tied Outside A Pet Store, Then Leaves And Never Comes Back

Imagine having a beautiful life, and one day, it all disappears in the cruelest, most heartless way…

Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to this adorable Pit Bull dog named Sinatra. He had a home, a family, and a good life, all until his owner made a bizarre decision.

The owner went to a local pet store and tried to leave Sinatra there all alone, but the pet store staff refused to let that happen.

When they were ready to close, they went out of the store only to find Sinatra tied up to a cart return.

However, what seemed like Sinatra’s worst day, being tied up and abandoned, actually turned out to be the best day of his life.

Sinatra’s life completely changed when Frank came into his life. It all began when police officers found Sinatra and took him to the veterinary hospital.

Then, they called their colleague Frank, who works as a dispatcher, and asked if he would like to adopt Sinatra.

The officers knew Frank was looking to adopt a dog; however, after hearing Sinatra was a Pit Bull, he wasn’t quite sure. 

Still, something deep inside was telling Frank to take a chance, and fortunately, he did. Frank went to the veterinary hospital, where they usually take strays.

As soon as their eyes met, Frank and Sinatra fell in love with each other. Frank shared in an interview:

“I waited a couple of minutes, then all of a sudden I hear a bang, and he’s dragging this little vet tech behind him. And as he’s getting closer, I’m thinking to myself, oh I don’t know if this is a good idea. But as soon as he got to my feet, he laid on his back and gave me his belly, and that was it.”

That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Sinatra was Frank’s first dog, but they immediately bonded with each other. Frank added:

“He was a typical build of a Pit Bull. He always walked around with one ear up and one ear down. It was a lot of trial and tribulation to work with him and get to know him. But, once it happened, he was my right hand man.”

With a lot of love, patience, and treats, Frank even managed to teach Sinatra many different tricks. Just like that, they were always there for each other, spending quality time together and bringing each other happiness.

But, as time passed by, Sinatra grew old. Frank’s heart broke as he knew the final day was coming. He shared:

“In the beginning of May, he started not feeling well. In a matter of two weeks, he just stopped eating completely. He lost about 12 pounds in that two and a half week span. I think I was in denial hoping that something would work and get him back to health, but it never did.”

Sinatra crossed the rainbow bridge approximately four days after his 13th birthday. Despite the sadness, they shared one of the most beautiful goodbyes.

Days before Sinatra’s passing, the duo got to witness a rainbow. Frank said:

“It had been raining and storming all day. The sun had come out a little bit, and he went to the door. I noticed the rainbow right away. He just stood there next to me, just facing the same way I was and I felt like he was showing me the rainbow that he would be crossing.”

I’m sure Sinatra knew how Frank changed his life and gave him a second chance. Though it’s sad that he’s gone, it’s beautiful that their paths crossed and they made the most of the time they had together.
