Malissa Sergent Lewis was on her way to work at an elementary school in Kentucky when she saw something unexpected blocking the road – a trash bag. She took a back road as a shortcut and was running late, so she didn’t have time to deal with this obstacle, but as she got closer, she realized that the bag was moving.
In an interview with The Dodo, Lewis said, “I saw this trash bag in the road, and I thought to myself, ‘Did I just see that bag move?’ The closer I got, I realized it was moving.”
Rather than being scared by this unusual sight, Lewis knew there was something alive in the trash bag, and she needed to get it out. She approached the bag with caution, knowing that there might be a wild animal inside.
To her surprise, when she untied the knot and tore the corner, a small puppy tumbled out of the trash bag. “It was a puppy. And he sure was glad to see me. As soon as I opened it up, and he saw light, he just started wagging his tail. He knew he was OK. I couldn’t believe it.
