In a heartwarming moment caught on video, 13-year-old Cibely Stiegelmair from Brazil proved that kindness knows no age. While walking home from school one day, Cibely came across a tiny, distressed puppy alone on the street. Without hesitation, she set down her umbrella, slipped off her backpack, and removed her jacket before gently cradling the stray in her arms, offering comfort and safety.

A security camera captured the touching scene, showing Cibely carrying the small dog protectively as she made her way home. The video quickly spread online, with viewers praising the young girl for her compassion and calling her an "angel" for stepping in to help.
Cibely’s mother, Rozely, shared that she was deeply moved by her daughter’s actions. "It all happened so quickly. It was very emotional," she said. The family decided not just to help the puppy temporarily but to give her a forever home. They named the little dog Pretinha, and she has since become a beloved part of their household.

Now, Pretinha is thriving alongside Cibely and the family's other dogs, safe from the dangers of life on the streets. This simple yet powerful act of kindness has touched thousands of hearts, reminding people of the difference one person can make in an animal’s life.
Cibely’s story serves as an inspiring example of compassion in action, proving that sometimes, all it takes is one moment of care to change a life forever.
