Small changes can lead to life-changing outcomes, just like what happened to Kentucky schoolteacher Malissa Sergent Lewis. One summer morning in 2016, running late for work, she took a different route. That’s when she spotted something strange—a moving trash bag on the side of the road.
Curiosity got the better of her, and inside the bag, she found a terrified puppy. Unable to leave it behind, Malissa took the pup with her and, after attempts to find its owner failed, her family decided to adopt it. This kind act saved the puppy from an uncertain fate.
Malissa’s compassion is a beautiful reminder of how small gestures can make a huge difference, especially for animals in need. Share this story to honor the kindness of people like Malissa!
