All animals deserve a home where they feel safe and cared for. But things are not always like this.
Many of them are forced to work with abusive owners and end up in shelters.
Although we often cannot adopt animals because we do not have the opportunity, everyone can do something to help.
The event took place earlier this summer at the Tulsa Animal Welfare Shelter in Oklahoma.
Twenty-year-old Madison Sorrels was waiting to adopt a dog when she noticed an older man walk through the door.
He was carrying a couple of plastic bags.
Apparently, the man had brought a large bag of tennis balls that once belonged to his beloved dog.
In memory of his deceased friend, the man wanted to donate the tennis balls to the shelter so that the dogs there could have fun while they waited to be adopted.
It wasn’t a big gesture but it was full of love. Since this moment seemed very beautiful, Madison decided to share it with everyone.
“My boyfriend and I were adopting a poodle mix puppy at Tulsa Animal Welfare. We found out this gentleman was donating tennis balls in memory of a very loved pet. If this doesn’t make your day then I don’t know what will,” Madison Sorrels wrote.
The post was widely shared on Facebook and many people wrote many nice words about the man.
People pointed out how selfless his action was considering he had just lost his dog. Although no one would blame him for mourning his beloved pet and holding on to the tennis balls, the old man decided to turn his loss into something that gave happiness to others.
What an honorable man!
