No dog deserves to experience abandonment, nor know the heartbreak of being rejected by their own humans. Yet, this was the harsh reality for Astra and Luna, two adorable puppies who found themselves cruelly abandoned under a bridge next to piles of trash.

Their story, however, took a heartwarming turn thanks to the compassion and determination of a young boy named Cash and his mother, Alayna.
Upon stumbling upon the two puppies, Cash and Alayna were greeted with wagging tails and twinkling eyes. It was as if the puppies knew that help had arrived. Without hesitation, Cash urged his mom to save the abandoned fur babies.
