The Time Dad Saved a Lost Dog (and Melted My Heart)

It was late evening when we found a lost puppy shivering by the roadside.Most people just drove past, but not Dad.He picked up the little creature, wrapped him in his jacket, and spent the whole night putting up signs, making calls, and knocking on doors.

Finally, by morning, the puppy’s family was found — in tears, hugging their pet.Dad didn’t take any reward; he just scratched the puppy behind the ears and said, "You’re home, little guy."

Watching him that night, I realized that real kindness doesn’t make a show — it simply shows up.
