While Christmas is the most joyous time of year, it is also stressful. As people hurry about visiting friends and family, shopping, and wrapping presents, they often overlook opportunities to do good deeds. A bus driver in Milwaukee recently took advantage of the chance to help a family in need in their search for their beloved pets when she noticed two dogs out in the freezing night after her route.

On December 18, Jamie Grabowski, a bus driver for the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS), was just finishing up her shift when she noticed two dogs darting in and out of the road. It was around midnight and Jamie was driving the empty bus back to the transit company’s garage.

Fearful that the playful pups might get hit by a car on the freezing night, Jamie stopped the bus and began calling to the dogs. She got out and guided them aboard, reports the MCTS website.

In a video from the bus’s camera, the dogs, a Pit Bull and a Doberman, can be seen sweetly inspecting the interior of Jamie’s bus before settling down in the back aisle. Despite coming from breeds that are often misunderstood as violent, the two big guys were on their best behavior, a clear indication to Jamie that they were someone’s pets who had gotten out during the night.

As the two sweet friends took a nap from their nighttime excursion, Jamie contacted a dispatcher with the MCTS, who sent a police officer out to help her with the dogs. Milwaukee police officers helped the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission get the dogs to a shelter for the rest of the night.

Animal control was later able to reunite the dogs with their owners, who had been frantically searching for their beloved pets for hours before they were picked up by Jamie. Kindhearted Jamie was later told that she had found the dogs about 2.5 miles from their home, according to the same posting by the MCTS.

Jamie’s compassion was heralded by the MCTS on their official Twitter page when the agency posted photos of Jamie with the pups and their grateful owners. The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission also shared Jamie’s story on their Facebook page, saying that they were happy to have played a part in the dogs’ reunion with their family.
