Franceline Palaez was walking her Chihuahua on a leash in her Tampa neighborhood when another dog jumped a fence and attacked him.

The 91-year-old tried to fight off the dog attacking her little "Token," but it would not be enough. Palaez wasn’t hurt, but her best friend wasn’t so lucky.

Token had to be put down.

"Since the day it happened, she’s done nothing but cry,” Palaez's granddaughter Selena Munoz said.

A pet store in Land O'Lakes heard her tragic story and new they could do something to help. This weekend, Petland donated a 12-week-old Chihuahua to help Palaez mend her broken heart.

"There was no way I was going to say no to this, Petland owner Carrie Buzbee said. "It was such a horrible story for something like that to happen. I’m just glad we were able to do this."
