Howdy, friends and fam of the animal community. We willingly give a round of appaws to anyone who goes out of their way to rescue an animal in need. Whether it's something super cool like saving a lion cub abandoned by its mother or finding a litter of puppies on a construction site, you deserve to be thanked for the wholesome goodness you do out of the kindness of your heart. You would think that a good deed results in a good action, right? Well, wrong. Unfortunately, the world doesn't always work the way you think it should.

After saving a stray puppy from a busy highway, this courageous person decided to take the puppy to a shelter, knowing that they could give them a better life in the future. However, upon arriving at the animal shelter, they refused to take the doggo in based on a technicality - because the highway they found the puppy on was technically outside of city limits, they wouldn't take them. There's more to this story, so scroll down and read it all below!

We have to admit that we are big proponents of white lies. See where telling the truth gets you? Now, we're not saying you should go around lying about everything, but when it comes to silly technicalities, a little white lie can go a long way.

We hope that this person finds a winning lottery ticket on the ground. Not only did they save a puppy, they are now taking care of one they didn't expect. They deserve some good karma right about now!
