Diane Lea was cycling in the Southern Arizona desert with the temperatures at about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Not many people would get out to cycle under such scorching weather. But on this day, while cycling, Diane came across a puppy that was in the middle of the road.

Just imagine what exactly a puppy would be doing alone in such a remote place in a desert. One thing that was clear, though, is that then puppy was close to dying. Diane didn't hesitate before she decided to save the puppy’s life. 

On seeing it, Diane stopped cycling and took the puppy. She then cycled back to where the RV was and set out to give it first aid. One of the notable things about this RV was that it wasn’t filled with what a typical touring car has.

Instead, of nice stuff such as blankets, air conditioners and such niceties, this RV was full of treasures that Diane together with her driver, Liz Watkins had collected along the roadside in the ninth day of their trek.

Diane Lea gave water to the puppy, and it drank quickly as it was without doubt thirsty. She then placed it in a bucket which was arguably the only comfortable place they could have put the puppy. She then continued tending to the puppy until it recovered from the hunger.
