NEED TO KNOW
Stephanie Garcia is a mother of two from Cleveland, Texas
She and her husband are avid animal lovers and have a special place in their hearts for dogs
Given her affinity for four-legged friends, Garcia jumped into action when she saw a dog in need outside her neighbors' house
One quiet afternoon in May, as she stood at the sink doing dishes, Stephanie Garcia glanced out her kitchen window and saw a dog wandering her neighbor’s front yard.
While the sight might not have been unusual a few weeks prior, Garcia's neighbors had notably packed up and moved out several days earlier, leaving the property completely empty, aside from the mysterious brown dog.
Concerned, the 26-year-old brought over some food and water, placing it just inside the gate.
