For years, Dreamer stood above the world and watched it move without him. Cars passed beneath the building every day. People walked through the streets below. Rainstorms rolled across the rooftop during colder months, while summer heat turned the concrete beneath his paws painfully hot. Yet through every season, the lonely dog remained in the…

The puppy was lying in a dirty puddle when children noticed him. At first, they thought he was already dead. His tiny body barely moved. One paw bent unnaturally beneath him, and his back legs dragged helplessly against the ground whenever he tried to shift. Dirt clung to his fur. Cold water soaked through his…
