A homeless North Carolina man who rescued a litter of five puppies after the death of their mother by taking them to a shelter left an “inspiring” letter there that shocked social media.
The refuse volunteers discovered one morning at the beginning of January five puppies aged a little less than two months in front of the door of the establishment, accompanied by a handwritten letter which did not leave one indifferent.
“After the storm that swept through our region, we experienced something that both broke us and warmed our hearts,” the Fayetteville shelter mentioned on its Facebook page, welcoming the gesture of the homeless man.
“I’m sorry to leave them like this, but I’m homeless myself and I don’t have the means to take care of them,” the good Samaritan apologized, adding: “My heart cries for them and for their mother,” according to Belgian media 7Sur7.
“I hope they get a chance. A chance that their mother and I did not have. Please don’t think bad things about me. I didn’t feel good leaving them in the cold, waiting for a mother who wouldn’t come home,” the anonymous man wrote.
“Your empathy, while you yourself are faced with adversity, gives us hope and inspires us,” responded the shelter team, promising “to honor (his) selfless gesture by giving to these puppies all the love and care they deserve.
