This left Humphries baffled and saddened, as she witnessed the puppy’s longing for affection and attention.
Finally, on the third day, the human reclaimed the puppy, leaving Humphries with a mixture of sadness and apprehension about their future well-being. Despite overwhelming Support and empathy from social media users, Humphries was bound by veterinary protocols, and unable to intervene further.
