This is Boo.  Boo is a beautiful loyal dog who waited on this mattress for owners that would never return.

Thankfully, a man named Mike Deisel, from the Detroit Youth and Dog Rescue  got a tip off about Boo and spent moe than 11 hours gaining the dogs trust.

According to The Dodo, Boo waited on the mattress for A MONTH for his owners.

“He was just laying there, being his loyal self,” Deisel tells The Dodo,

“Pillows were still on the mattress. Being the loyal dog he was supposed to be, he waited for his master to come back.”

According to BuzzFeed, a neighbor told Deisel the dog’s family had left a month ago, but their belongings were put on the curb. They came back to pick up some items, but Boo remained behind.

Deisel stayed with Boo until 1am trying to gain the dog’s trust.

“I think he was unsure of humans,” he said. “I think he was waiting for his family to come back and get him.”

When Deisel returned with breakfast, Boo began to approach him.

Later that afternoon, Deisel managed to secure a leash around Boo. He took things slowly.

“Once I got that on him, I walked him for about half an hour,” Diesel tells The Dodo. “Just being right there next to him, gaining that trust. After that we sat on the ground, on a blanket, for an hour.”

“We just had a conversation, me and Boo. I told him how this is going to go, how he’ll never be hurt again,” Deisel said.

Meanwhile a picture of Boo was shared to Facebook and was quickly gaining attention.

“This picture absolutely breaks my heart,” writes Liz Marie.

Deisel took Boo to the vet and he got the necessary treatment for worms. He’s now socialising with other dogs in the rescue.
