She saw her literally die alone in a cage. But what the puppy did after coming out of the cage , prompted the woman to take action.

When the woman traveled to Puerto Rico and saw a small puppy in a rusty box, she realized she had to support her.

Many strays were in trouble after Hurricane Maria, and many pets were abandoned after their families were forced to flee. Kristen Aaron was in Puerto Rico to film and raise awareness of the situation when she came across Carolina.

She was walking among various dog crates when she came across a puppy on her own. Kristen’s face lit up the moment she pulled the puppy out of the crate. “Then something changed,” Kristen said in The Dodo video.

Kristen made the decision to foster Carolina right away. Carolina’s distinct personality gradually emerged after her return to New York. She was just so happy, and her joy was infectious because her life was about to change the moment she went to the vet!

Watch the touching video to see how Carolina went from basically dying alone in a crate to having her own family.
