The dog was not abandoned. The headline is misleading. The security guard said he was taking care of the dog while the family was out of town.

"When asked who was taking care of the dog, the guard volunteered that he was." Right there in the article.

It appears that Ms. Ryan did not read the article. If she had, she would know that the security guard was taking care of the dog. Additionally, many posters have noted the lack of snow in the picture. It appears that Cruz's area got less snow than some parts of TX.

She didn?t read the article that states how the dog is cared for.
