Lana, the canine known as ‘the saddest dog in the world’, is homeless again – and she might be put to sleep if she doesn’t find someone to take her in. Lana was depressed in her kennel when a picture of her went viral in 2015.
At the time, the family who had adopted the shelter dog had returned her, which made her too sad to go for walks. “It’s almost like her world shut down,” Mighty Mutts’ Dahlia Ayoub said in 2015.
The reason why they surrendered her back to the shelter was that Lana snapped at her human mom. The doggie’s memories of being the runt of the litter could have triggered the desire to guard her food.
Lana was adopted again after the shelter found someone who gave her a second chance. That is, until recently.
“People want a dog they can pet and play with, so Lana’s adoption did not work out,” said Brenda Dobranski, founder of Rescue Dogs Match.
“Lana is a silly fun girl but she is not the type of dog that will let you give belly rubs…”.
The doggie only has until May 20 before she might be put to sleep. Are you the type of person who can accept Lana for the unique dog that she is? Can you bring ‘the world’s saddest dog’ back to life?
