When we hear about people going the extra mile to help animals is always heartwarming. A cyclist in Brazil went above and beyond to help a group of five puppies who had been left abandoned and in dire straits. He gave them rides and worked hard to find them new loving homes.
Thyago Costa Silva, a Brazilian rider, was out practicing with his friends when they came across a heart-warming sight in the middle of nowhere. Five puppies were discovered buried in a pit, left there to suffer. They were unable to escape and in desperate need of help.

They stopped and gave the puppies food and water. Thyago even shared his water with the thirsty pups, as seen in a video on his Instagram.
These puppies just wanted a chance at life, and Thyago and his fellow cyclists were determined to give it to them. After giving them water, they placed the puppies in their shirts and rode 12 miles to find assistance for them.
