On a cold, rainy afternoon, a woman driving past an old gatehouse spotted a small puppy chained near a rusted fence. The rain fell hard, soaking the trembling dog completely. Beside him, a larger dog occupied the only bit of shelter—a small wooden kennel—leaving the puppy exposed to the freezing downpour. Two old bowls lay nearby: one with a few bones, the other empty. Moved by compassion, the woman approached, realizing he had been left there to suffer alone. She took his picture and called for help. That moment changed everything — it was the beginning of Thomas’s rescue, and his second chance at life.
