Heartbreaking photos show Venezuelas abandoned dogs

Venezuela is in a state of crisis. Prices for everyday necessities have skyrocketed. And that goes for the things that people need to feed their animals. Dog food can fetch up to $50 for a 40-pound bag. According to Reuters, the average minimum wage that Venezuelans are pulling in is $23 a month. The math is pretty obvious, with wages that low, it is difficult for people to provide the daily necessities for themselves, let alone their pets. And so Venezuela is now also seeing an increase in dogs being abandoned by their owners.
