A couple made a selfless decision to sacrifice in order to help an injured pup, and it was beautiful. They put their plans on hold to attend to a canine who badly needed medical attention. Watch this short but heartwarming clip to hear what this lovely couple did to help a dog in poor condition. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because you’ll probably need them.

People tend to look out for themselves, to meet their needs and wants before helping others. It’s horrible to admit, but it’s true and is human nature. If we’re all being honest, we are all selfish at times and can probably name specific instances when we were more concerned about ourselves than others.

How better could this world be if people weren’t so selfish? What would happen if people weren’t motivated solely by what they can get out of this or that?  For starters, the crime rate probably wouldn’t be so high, and places like Washington, D.C., and other places of power wouldn’t be so despised.

A clip posted on YouTube gives us a glimpse of how much better our world could be if me, myself and I weren’t the primary concern for most people. That’s because a couple used the money they had saved to fund their upcoming wedding to pay for an injured dog’s badly needed medical procedure.

A post on social media prompted the couple to help Maple, who had been hit by a car. Maple had suffered two broken legs. The young couple did what they could for the animal, taking it to the vet. But that’s when they learned that the procedure to fix Maple’s legs was going to cost thousands.

“We kind of looked at each other, and we’re like, ‘Hey, we have money saved for our wedding. Let’s just use that. We can always figure something out later, but this girl needs our help, and she needs it now,” the woman in the clip said.

What a completely selfless act of love to put the animal’s needs ahead of their own wants.
