Talk about a sad sight to see. Everyone loves adorable puppies, but this story got me a little sad to hear. Recently, a suitcase full of puppies was found alongside a road in North Carolina and you won't imagine what this looks like.

Fox 46 reports that a good samaritan found the box full of puppies in Guilford County last week. The good samaritan then called Guilford County Animal Services in order to get the puppies some help. In a social media post by Guilford County Animal Services, you can see a suitcase of four of the cutest puppies. According to the post, the case was zippered except for one small part. The good samaritan saw the suitcase moving, leading to see what was inside.

The four puppies were immediately taken in by animal services and will now be medically evaluated. It is crazy to think where these puppies came from, but we are glad they are finally about to get some help. The sweet puppies will get looked after and eventually be up for adoption or rescue once released. Check out the social media post below to see the cutest puppies.
