A North Carolina dog has reportedly been abandoned over fears that he might be gay when the dog’s owners discovered him humping a male pooch.
According to The New York Post the dog, Fezco, was taken to an animal shelter, Stanly County Animal Protective Services, in need of new home after the owners claim he was gay.
The shelter says the owners were mortified when they witness Fezco humping another male dog, which reports say is common in canine.
The gay couple said they renamed Fezco to “Oscar” after the Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde — who was gay.
The couple told TMZ that they felt an immediate connection to Oscar and his story because they have been also faced discrimination.
The couple added that Oscar’s previous owners were not only bigoted, but apparently pretty bad at taking care of him — the dog hasn’t been neutered and has heartworms.
