Izzy, a stray who had recently become a mother to a litter of puppies, was in dire need of kindness and assistance.
Hoping to find some compassionate souls, she made her way to the entrance of a Dollar Store in Jetersville, Virginia.
There, she sat patiently, peering through the glass door at the people inside.
Her eyes, filled with a deep sadness, seemed to plead with everyone who passed by to pay attention to her plight.
