David Scarbrough, driving home from work, stumbled upon a heartbreaking sight: a homeless woman and her litter of puppies, huddled together in the Texas heat.
Though unable to help immediately, David promised to return.
The next day, David arrived with food and water. The mama dog, protective of her pups, barked, but the woman soothed her.
She revealed her desperate plan to sell the puppies for $20 each to get the mama dog spayed.
David, moved by their plight, shared their story online. The response was overwhelming.
Generous strangers donated money, food, and supplies.
With this newfound support, David returned to the woman, who was moved to tears by the kindness.
Though hesitant to part with her beloved pups, the woman agreed to accept help.
Kari, a compassionate volunteer, examined the dogs, which were infested with fleas and parasites.
Despite their efforts, some puppies were still unwell. Kari offered to vaccinate, spay/neuter, and find them loving homes.
While Kari tended to the puppies, David focused on helping the mama dog, now named Seven.
With more donations, the woman and Seven were able to stay in a hotel. David even gave her a phone to stay connected.
The woman, initially reluctant to be separated from Seven, eventually agreed to the necessary procedures.
With the help of caring individuals, they completed the treatments and enjoyed a few days of rest.
