Malissa Sergent Lewis wasn’t expecting to save a life on her way into the office last week. But that’s exactly what she did. Little did she know the trip would change her life forever.
The morning had her racing against time as she set out for work in her car. While driving, she noticed an ebony refuse sack right in the middle of the road.
To her astonishment, the sack seemed to be moving as she attempted to drive past it. Intrigued, the lady decided to pull over and investigate the curious sight more closely, instinctively aware that something alive resided within the enigmatic bag.
Without a second thought for her own safety, she unfastened the bag’s seal. To her sheer amazement, she discovered a puppy nestled inside.
How could someone be so heartless as to forsake a defenseless puppy, confining it within a tied-up garbage bag? This cruel act not only abandoned the innocent creature but also sealed its fate, leaving no chance for survival.
Upon her arrival, the puppy darted into Melissa’s arms, brimming with joy. Instead of proceeding to work, the compassionate woman promptly took the puppy to a veterinarian. After consulting the veterinary expert, it was confirmed that the puppy was in excellent health.
Melissa promptly decided to adopt the dog, christening it “Hefty.” The grateful dog exuded happiness, acknowledging the gift of a second chance at life.
Lewis did share the miraculous story on Facebook in a series of videos that have gone viral with close to 20,000 shares. Accompanying the videos is a caption that states, “If this is your puppy, let me know. If you are the scoundrel who put it in a garbage bag and tossed it on the side of the road . . . you’re a sicko.”
Melissa’s actions command our utmost respect and gratitude, showcasing her unwavering compassion and sense of responsibility.
