One sweet dog recently got really lucky when a special couple rescued her from distress and saved her life.

A man and his girlfriend were out on their balcony early one morning before heading out for the day when they noticed something unusual below them.

"I look down from the railing to see a dog. All by herself laying in the grass. I glance around to see if there's an owner nearby," the Imgur user OhHiDenny said, as he recounted the entire story. "Probably just taking her out for a walk, she got tired, and decided to lay down. There's no one around. I can tell that she's exhausted. She glances up at me and I immediately know that we have to go down and check on her."

The intuitive pair took off to check on the dog, bringing food and water with them. What they saw shocked them. The poor pup was completely emaciated and covered in fleas. The couple sprung into action, taking the dog back up to their apartment in an empty laundry basket.

The couple knew that the first step was to get rid of the fleas. The woman ran to the store to get some flea shampoo and they spent time bathing the dog over and over until all of the fleas had been removed. The dog was then showered with a new crate, toys, and food. The dog finally got comfortable and fell asleep and the couple knew that they were in love with the sweet pup. Their joy was shortlived. They soon realized how sick the poor dog was. Every time she would try to eat, she would throw it back up.

They took the dog to the vet and were devastated to learn that she was suffering from a blockage, which explained why she could not keep any food down. The Good Samaritans decided to pay for the surgery to repair the blockage. The risk paid off, and the dog did well. The vets had to cut into the intestine in five separate places to remove pieces of plastic and other items that the dog had ingested just trying to make it on her own on the streets.

Although the couple said that they would never have believed that they would spend so much money to help a dog they had never met, it is clear that they are overjoyed with the new pup in their life. They cannot wait to get the pup home, now called "Little One," and make her a part of their family.
