Biker Sees Puppy Abandoned On Road And Knows Exactly What He Has To Do

Texan bicyclist James McHugh had a very unexpected wrench thrown into his route during a ride in Houston.

In a video uploaded to YouTube in December, McHugh recorded his encounter with a puppy who was more than excited to see a human face.

. . . and miles away from civilization. "I'm like, 10 miles from the nearest anything," McHugh says in the video.

With nothing but a box to shield her from the elements, it was pretty obvious this puppy had been cruelly abandoned, for reasons still unknown.

Being a Good Samaritan, McHugh knew he couldn't just leave this playful, affectionate little girl alone ...

... so he tucked the dog into his shirt took her with him, all the way to his home.

McHugh told Metro UK that he would've loved to keep the dog, but already owned two rescues. By the end of the video, he makes a plea for someone to take ownership of the dog. As it turns out, her new owner was closer than she could ever imagine. A neighbor of McHugh's saw his video and decided to adopt her, naming her Luna.
