Dear editor:

I was driving home down York Road when a pick-up pulled over in front of me and was blocking a bit of the road.

First I felt some minor annoyance at the stoppage and then I realized what the younger man driving the truck was doing.

He had picked up an older dog that was on the road and carried it off to safety. 

I watched and held traffic back for a bit as he was checking its collar at the side of the road.

I am sure he was planning on notifying the dog's owners or Ken Reid of canine control.

His caring behaviour brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart.

Good things do happen here in Niagara.
