Buzzfeed picked up on the story, and a TAW representative made it even sweeter by saying the donation was made in memory of a much loved dog.

The photo touched the hearts of thousands who saw it.
And as for Madison - she and her new dog Norman are doing great, she said. And the elderly man who made such an impression on her has learned how his simple act affected others, she said.
