A heartless pet owner abandoned their 4-year-old dog on the side of a “treacherous” Long Island highway on Monday, authorities said.
Several drivers called police after spotting the poor pooch tied to a light pole on the Southern State Parkway near Exit 21 around 5:30 a.m, New York State Police Captain Timothy Gleason told The Post.
Responding troopers found the white mastiff, along with a note and a bowl of food, said Gleason.

“This is Roxi, a trained American bull mastiff,” the handwritten note said.
“She is four-years-old. She has been fed and given a flea bath, she may still have issues with them. See that she gets good care.”
