“We stopped there at 11:30 pm last night and there was a wet dog frantically looking for help. He is cold and looked hungry based off of how skinny he was. He was running up to everyone so I told the girl at the counter. I asked if they could call animal control for the poor thing. She said it would not pick up tonight but she said she could take him til the am. She saw a young guy in the store she knew and asked him to take him to her home where her boyfriend was. I just wanted to say to her boss, I hope you know what an amazing woman you have working for you! Her heart is bigger than the moon! And to the young man that was probably late for his shift as a heavy machine operator near by that brought the dog to her house, thank you! The spirit you have of kindness and pure love is a quality most people do not have. Please keep it through life. Bless bought of you that helped this poor dog! You are extremely exceptional humans!!!”
