Cyclist Spots A Helpless Puppy Abandoned On A Remote Dirt Road

By Stephen Messenger

Last week, as cross-country cycling enthusiast Damian Macchi set off on a routine training ride near his home in Argentina, he never thought he'd end up saving a life.

But that's exactly what happened.

Macchi was riding his bike on a remote dirt road several miles from town when, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a small animal moving in the overgrowth as he sped by.

"I saw something running from the weeds," Macchi told The Dodo.

After continuing on his way briefly, a sense of concern came over Macchi. It was then that he decided to turn around and get a better look at what he'd seen. And it's a good thing he did.

In addition to cycling, Macchi's passion is helping pets in need; he's been involved in dozens of rescues, in fact. So, after taking the puppy to the vet for a checkup, he posted about her story to his fellow animal-loving followers online.

And before long, the puppy found what she needed most — a home to call her own.
