While Dyesa and her friend were on their way to the doctor’s office, they spotted a little puppy in a shopping cart in front of a grocery store in Phoenix, Arizona.
They stopped and rushed to see how they could help him.
The adorable pup who had a worried expression on his face seemed relieved to see the kind women.
Dyesa and her friend comforted the dog and wondered whether he had an owner.
They talked to the store employees and learned that the pooch had probably been outside since 5 a.m. Nobody knew anything about his family.
Taking The Pup To A Shelter
The big-hearted women thought that the sweet pup was abandoned. They felt sad for him and were determined to help him.
They fed the pooch, later named Herbert, and gave him a jacket to keep him warm.
After Herbert gulped down his meal, his new friends reached out to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control which took the dog under their care.
On November 21st, 2024, Dyesa shared a video of the puppy on her TikTok account and told his story to her followers, hoping that someone would rescue him.
Herbert’s story moved the viewers who were distressed because the store employees didn’t help him. They were also angry with the puppy’s owner who dumped him.
Nobody could have imagined the real truth.
Five days later, Dyesa posted an update about Herbert, informing her followers that he wasn’t abandoned like everyone initially assumed.
“The dog ran out of the house, and the owner couldn’t locate him,” Dyesa revealed in a comment.
She also said that it was unclear how the lost pup ended up in the shopping cart in the store’s parking lot.
The puppy’s owner searched everywhere for him. He called every shelter, hoping to get some information about his beloved pup.
However, since Herbert was placed on a stray hold for three days, he still hadn’t been registered in the shelter system, so his owner didn’t find him.
Fortunately, his friend came across Dyesa’s TikTok video and immediately sent it to him.
The Happy Reunion
Overjoyed because his dog was safe and sound, Herbert’s owner rushed to the Phoenix shelter to claim him.
That day, Dyesa was also at the shelter visiting Herbert and she witnessed their emotional reunion.
As soon as the pup saw his dad, he began jumping with joy. He was smiling from ear to ear as he looked at his owner’s face.
The puppy, whose real name is Roy, returned to his home.
His dad wasn’t the only one who terribly missed him. Roy’s doggy brother missed him, too. Once the best friends saw each other again, they were ecstatic.
Roy’s owner was incredibly grateful to Dyesa for helping his pup and posting the video on her TikTok.
