Synopsis/Details
Stacy contemplates suicide at a bridge, over her abusive step dad, but is pulled back by a homeless man, Albert, and his dog, Captain. They sit on a bench, and he convinces her it's not all bad, and pursuades her to call her mum and tell her the truth and go home. He offers her his dog, as he needs a real home, if she calls her mum. While she calls, he walks away, leaving his newspaper, and the dog.
She sees the headline, and a picture of Albert on that bench with Captain, with the headline, 'Homeless man saves drowning dog.' She sees his figure fade and says goodbye, walking away with Captain.
