One day, I was taking a walk around my neighborhood when I ran into a small, scared puppy. After a few minutes, I managed to convince it to approach me and started petting it. It was really cute, and I felt like keeping it. But the puppy seemed somewhat familiar, and I realized that I saw posters about a lost dog with a picture of this puppy attached. I picked up the puppy, walked to the spot where one of these posters was, and phoned the number the owner left. The owner picked up and was overjoyed that I found his puppy. We met soon after, and I was really happy that the puppy returned to its home. I felt like a did a good thing, and despite not getting to keep the puppy, I learned that doing the right thing pays off the most.
