GREENSBORO, NC — Four puppies have a second chance at a happy ending after a Good Samaritan found them tucked in a suitcase and abandoned on the side of a North Carolina highway.

The passerby discovered the puppies Saturday and stopped when they realized the suitcase was moving, according to Guilford County Animal Services in Greensboro. The suitcase was completely zipped except for a small section, the organization said.

"They were shocked as to what they found, and immediately brought them to the shelter," Guilford County Animal Services said in a Facebook post.
