🐶 Saving Cupcake

When Jake McAlpin's daughter Charlotte asked him where her beloved stuffed animal "Cupcake" was earlier this year, his heart sank when he realized he had accidentally threw the stuffy away.
Dumpster diving, ftw... Charlotte's stepmother Meredith quickly put out a message on Facebook asking if anyone might be able to open the dump in their small New England town.
- The next day, town leaders Brian Monahan and Dan Conway met at the dump and began digging through trash for the beloved dog. Jake joined them in the hunt.
- As hours went by and all hope seemed lost, they finally spotted one of Cupcake's big floppy ears.
🧁 Bottom line: "It made us feel pretty good. No one wants to be without their stuffy, and the smile on her face said it all," Dan shared after the men returned Cupcake to a grateful Charlotte.
