A heart-stopping video recently posted to Facebook distills the opposite extremes of human nature in just a few seconds.

The footage shows a man approaching a plastic bag that appears to be slightly moving.

He's careful to cut open the part of the bag that's been tied together, closing off what's contained.

And just a second later, the head of a little black puppy pops out, looking confusedly around.

A little parsing of the comments and translating the video's caption from Hungarian reveals a painful truth: It seems someone didn't want to deal with a tiny puppy, so simply decided to dispose of him.

But people who noticed the dog in danger wouldn't just stand by and let that act of cruelty go unnoticed - and they found him just in time.
