It truly is a heartbreaking situation. Bea, the disabled pup Charlotte left the airport with, is being looked after by KSAR staff, according to their FB updates. #KSARstaffinourhearts
Heartbreaking. A difficult situation at the best of times but the way poor Charlotte was abandoned and her animals released, killed, abused etc. is totally disgusting. What a brave, courageous woman - where is she now and how is the little puppy she refused to abandon?
