If you show kindness and empathy towards others, amazing things can happen. Trust that positive outcomes will arise when you act with compassion.
The positive impact of kindness cannot be measured based on the magnitude of the gesture. Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small, is significant as long as it is done with good intentions.
Destiny Vasquez had an epiphany when she was out one night. While in a fast-food restaurant parking lot in Brownsville, Texas, the eighteen-year-old noticed two stray dogs who seemed to be pleading for help instead of wandering around aimlessly. Vasquez remembers the encounter vividly.
According to Destiny Vasquez, the two stray dogs in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant were approaching every passing car, hoping to find someone who would take them in.
She recorded a video of the two stray dogs begging for help in a parking lot and shared it on her friend’s Facebook page. In the video, the dogs can be seen happily wagging their tails and reaching their paws towards the car window as they are fed scraps.
“The two dogs have nobody to take care of them and will have to spend another night in the parking lot and on the streets. The only companion they have is each other, and they need to be rescued and fostered together.”
A volunteer from Animal Aid Brigade, Ana Teran, noticed the Facebook post shared by Destiny about the two dogs in need and offered to help. This positive outcome was a result of Destiny’s willingness to improve the dogs’ situation.
The volunteer, Ana Teran, was amazed by Destiny’s post and couldn’t ignore it. She was determined to rescue the dogs, even willing to rent a car to do so.
Ana drove from Houston to South Texas to meet the dogs and provide them with help. When she finally met them, she was thrilled and couldn’t help but express her excitement. The dogs were friendly and wanted love and attention badly. Despite their situation, they had big smiles on their faces and were excited and happy to see her.
She gave them the names Patty and Pepper and took them under her care until she could find suitable adopters for them. She was happy to see how well-bonded the two dogs were and described them as having a “very sweet” disposition. Despite hoping for them to find their forever homes, Ana also anticipates feeling a sense of sadness when they finally get adopted.
Thanks to Destiny and Ana’s efforts, Patty and Pepper are now off the streets and have found someone to love and care for them. It is heartwarming to see selfless people like them who show that animals are just as deserving of compassion as humans.
