Wesley White is a talented photographer. And recently, he was traveling through Belize for work.

Wesley was looking forward to exploring the stunning island and, of course, taking some epic photos. He was excited to enjoy what was sure to be an incredible trip.

When he arrived, Wesley decided to go on a kayaking adventure to a small island in Thatch Caye. When he got there, he spotted a dog near an abandoned fishing shack.

The dog was friendly, but it was clear to Wesley that the poor animal was starving. "Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his tail wagging," he said.

Wesley was concerned for the dog and tried to call out for help, but there was no one nearby. Wesley knew the dog would be unlikely to last even one more day alone on the island, so he put the pup in the kayak and brought it back to the hotel.

When he arrived back at the hotel, Wesley called for help. Thankfully, some kind people helped the dog, giving him food and water before taking him to the vet for medical attention.

The tiny dog was terrified.

Unfortunately, Wesley couldn't stay with the dog for long, as he was due to leave Belize in 36 hours. So, he asked the vet to keep him updated on the dog's condition.

Before long, the vet told Wesley that the dog was recovering well and would soon be ready to go into foster care. After just two months in a foster home, the dog was ready to be reunited with Wesley!

Make sure you have your tissues handy. This one is an epic tearjerker!

Winston is now happily enjoying his new life with Wesley. He is fed, healthy, happy, and thriving in his new home!

What a great story of how fate can so effortlessly bring two souls together! Wesley was in the right place at the right time to save Winston.

If Wesley hadn't have decided to go kayaking that day, chances are Winston would not have survived. We don't even want to think about that!

Well done, Wesley! And, Winston, we wish you the best and happiest life ever!
