Tom was walking home when he noticed a small dog wandering aimlessly on the side of the road, looking lost. Concerned, he knelt down and gently called the dog over. The dog approached him cautiously, and Tom saw that it had a collar but no tags. Not wanting to leave the dog alone, he decided to wait nearby, hoping the owner might come looking. After a few minutes, a worried woman came running down the street, calling out for her dog. When she saw Tom with her pet, she sighed with relief and thanked him repeatedly. Tom smiled, happy to have helped reunite the dog with its owner.
