While heading towards a shop in North Carolina, Valinda Cortez stumbled upon a puppy living in terrible conditions. The poor dog wore a sorrowful expression and had seemingly given up on life, all while being soaked from the rain.

Valinda recognized the urgency of helping the child, so she spoke up and said: “As I stepped out of the car, my heart sank. It was evident that this little one had endured harsh weather conditions for quite some time, as she was shivering from the cold. I could sense that she had been abandoned.”

In order to earn the dog’s confidence, the lady drew near, provided her with a covering to maintain her body heat, and stayed with her for more than 60 minutes.

Valinda reached out to her pal Sue Massi, whose responsibility is to rescue abandoned canines in the area, once the pup was ready to be rescued. As soon as Sue arrived, it took less than 20 minutes to transport the pooch to a shelter.

Valinda expressed that humans had disappointed her, but she aspired to restore an animal’s trust in people by providing it with food, a cozy blanket, and affection.

Cassie, the happy dog, had a beaming face that brought joy to everyone around her. Her owners were proud of her unique features and considered this picture of her to be the perfect representation of her personality. Seeing Cassie’s happiness filled their hearts with joy and contentment.
