Patrick Hennesy, a man weary from a long day, could only dream of reaching the warmth of his bed on that chilly morning. But fate had a different plan, a detour that would lead him towards an act of extraordinary kindness. As he drove down the deserted road at 4.30 am, two figures huddled at the roadside snagged his attention. It wasn’t long before Patrick realized these were no ordinary figures; two frightened pit bull puppies huddled together, their vulnerability undeniable.
