Late one afternoon, Alex decided to take a break from work and stroll through the nearby park. The air was crisp, and leaves crunched underfoot, hinting at the arrival of autumn. As Alex passed a bench, they noticed a small dog sitting alone, its leash tied to the armrest. Nearby, an elderly woman appeared to be searching frantically, calling out a name. Putting two and two together, Alex gently approached the dog and waited until the woman noticed. She hurried over, relieved, explaining she’d accidentally dropped the leash while picking up her shopping. Grateful, she thanked Alex with a warm smile. Alex walked on, feeling a quiet satisfaction, knowing they had brightened someone’s day in a simple yet meaningful way.
