When Dennis McDonald, a 45-year-old truck driver, drove past a cat laying in the middle of the road, his passenger told him he almost ran over a dead cat. Being the owner of two other cats, Dennis decided to turn around and check if the cat was really dead or not.

To his surprise, the cat was actually alive, but had been hit by a car and was seriously hurt. Dennis brought the cat to a veterinarian and thanks to generous donations from others, the cat got the necessary surgery to save its life.

The original cat’s owner could no longer afford to keep the cat so now the truck driver is the happy owner of a cat he previously thought was dead on the road.
