An angry letter has left a Canberra local rattled after she found it attached to her car windscreen on her return from a five-minute trip to the supermarket.
Haley Austine returned to a nasty note telling her she didn't deserve her dog, Drake, who she left in the car while she ducked into Westfield Belconnen mall for baby formula.
"I have reported you for leaving the dog unattended inside the car. I also have pictures. You do not deserve a good dog like this," the handwritten letter, planted on Thursday morning, read.
What it's author didn't know however, was that Drake suffers from a combination of serious medical conditions that makes it unsafe for him to be left alone longer than 20 minutes.
The 4-year-old American staffordshire terrier, who Austine rescued in April, lives with severe anxiety and seizures, which she said were impossible to predict.
