Animals in need often choose the right person to save them, as if they can sense the perfect soul from a mile away. In this story, a sweet little dog was abandoned beneath an overpass in a cardboard box with just a blanket and a toy. While the rain heavily came down, the brave pup climbed out of the box and sought help. He understood that in order to find a new life, he had to face the cold, unforgiving weather and seek out the perfect person to change his fate.

A guy and his friends were driving to work when they saw the dog hobbling down the street, running behind a car in front of them. He was soaking wet and in obvious distress. Did the car in front belong to the dog’s owner? It was likely.

The guy stopped his vehicle, his heart breaking at the sight before him. The dog had a bad leg but still managed to run. Once the other car was out of view, the man knew he had to act. He walked toward the dog, and the pup stood before him, asking for kindness. The man couldn’t resist.

He picked him up and investigated the area to see if there was any sign or explanation as to why the dog was abandoned. The guy found the cardboard box. The box was filling up with water. The man had arrived just in time! Oddly, the dog got inside the box as if he knew that it was his new home. But nope, the kind man was about to change that!

The man responsible is facing felony charges but must never be allowed to own or care for animals again.

The man got into his car with the dog to warm him up. The pup shivered, so the nice man dried him off with a towel. The next step was to take him to a rescue center to find him adequate care. But before they drove off, the man placed him in front of the car heater to warm him up some more.

We are so grateful for this rescue and the kindness this man showed to a dog in need. There is never an excuse to abandon a pet! If, for whatever reason, you cannot keep an animal, reach out to a local shelter or rescue group and ask for help.
