Thank goodness there are still people left in the world like this…

A TikTokker named Madison posted a video on TikTok and shared what happened upon two beautiful dogs who had been cruelly dumped by their former owner.

The video showed walking with her baby in a stroller.

Two dogs followed closely behind her.

Here’s the video.

For those wondering they do great with my 1 year old and are extremely protective over our house. They don’t even bark at our cats! we don’t have a fence to keep them from getting hit by a car and I also know nothing about dogs so they would need vaccines and possibly need to get fixed! It’s a sweet boy and girl and no one is looking for them??! @Halo Collar ?😭😭are there any places in dfw that travel to give vet care? #dogs #germanshepherd #missingdog #dumpedpuppies

Madison posted a follow-up video about the situation.

She wrote in a text overlay, “Update: we decided to keep one of the babies.”

Madison added, “Just kidding. Meet our new pups.”

We love a happy ending!
