Rain, a Dog, and a Delinquent

A sudden downpour. A young man was walking through a deserted alley, getting soaked to the skin. Then, he noticed a cardboard box by the roadside. Inside was a tiny puppy. Had someone abandoned it? He couldn't just leave it there in the pouring rain. Without a word, he took off his school jacket and draped it over the box. Then he picked up the box, puppy and all. The puppy looked up at him curiously. The young man gave a faint smile. Without saying a word, he started walking through the rain again. He wasn't the best at expressing himself. But when it came to things like this, he never hesitated.
