This video is a rollercoaster of emotions, so please prepaw yourself appropriately. We're not normally a person who gets angry, but if we saw a puppy being dumped in the middle of the highway like the driver in this video did, we would be fuming. If we wouldn't be so focused on saving the poor pup, we would have unleashed the fury of 1,000 suns on the people who did this to them. It's infuriating. It's horrible. It's just downright wrong. We don't like to judge others, but for someone like this, they deserve it.

Don't worry, it gets better! They scoop up the puppy, give them a bath, and the doggo perks right up. It's pawsitively clear that both the rescuer and the puppy soon become smitten with each other, which isn't hard when you're a puppy as cute as this one. They go on adventures together and the doggo snuggles their fluffy soul right next to the hooman's heart. The rescuer ends up adopting them, and if they didn't, we would have. It's almost too much cuteness for one post, but we'll let you be the judge of that. Watch this pawsitively emotional rescue video below!

    our.hope_for_strays I watched in disbelief as the car in front slowed down... and then drove off - leaving behind a tiny, trembling puppy. Thrown out like garbage.

  • They certainly don't deserve dogs. They don't deserve anything good, if you ask us. What they do deserve is to wake up every day and step on Legos, for their coffee to never be caffeinated, and all sorts of other things we're not allowed to talk about on here. They just racked up some serious bad karma.

    She stood there confused, scared, and alone. But we got to her in time... and wrapped her in love she had never known.

    I keep asking myself - how can someone do this? She is just a baby... innocent, gentle, and full of love to give. She didn't deserve to be abandoned. None of them do.

  • Stop it! That's too cute. We've never seen a dog sit like that before, and now we absolutely must teach our doggo how to sit like that. We have no idea how to do it, but everything is pawssible with enough treats and doggo determination.
