A woman named Malissa Lewis decided to take a shortcut on her way to work. It was a rural road that very few people use in Kentucky. Malissa was expecting an uneventful drive until she saw something move on the side of the road.
Malissa slowed down and saw a trash bag moving. Although she had no idea what was inside the trash bag, she knew that the movement wasn’t caused by the wind. Malissa stopped her car and went to investigate.
After reaching the bag, Malissa ripped it open and was shocked to find a puppy inside. Malissa thought that whoever dumped the puppy intended to leave it to die. Malissa immediately took a photo of the puppy and posted it on her social media account with a few choice words for the person who dumped the puppy.
Malissa thought about doing the right thing and decided to take the puppy home with her. As soon as she arrived home, the puppy was already asking for hugs and cuddles from his rescuer. Despite everything he went through, the tiny puppy was still quite happy.
It’s unknown whether the puppy was stolen or was just dumped by a cruel person to get rid of her. However, the police were notified and started their investigation. Ever since Malissa posted the puppy’s story, it immediately went viral with countless people volunteering to adopt the puppy.
However, Malissa stated that she and her family decided to keep the puppy. They named him Hefty and he’s now getting the life that he deserves. Malissa’s decision to take a shortcut resulted in her saving the life of Hefty. Now, she considers herself lucky that fate brought her and Hefty together.
Thinking back, if Malissa didn’t take the shortcut, it would have been a different and tragic ending for Hefty. Here’s a video featuring Melissa and Hefty and how fate brought them together.
