He decided to take a different route for his evening walk, enjoying the quiet streets as the sun set. As he turned a corner, he noticed a small dog sitting alone on the sidewalk, looking around nervously. There was no owner in sight.

Concerned, he approached the dog, crouching down to check its collar. Just as he was about to call the number on the tag, a man came running down the street, out of breath and clearly relieved to see the dog.

The man thanked him profusely, explaining that the dog had slipped out of its collar during their walk. They chatted for a moment, sharing a laugh over the dog’s adventurous spirit before going their separate ways.

As he continued his walk, he couldn’t help but feel good about being in the right place at the right time to help out.
