A hidden camera experiment is conducted to see how people react when witnessing animal abuse. Two actresses play the roles of dog owners who mistreat a puppy, Sami, in a public place. The experiment is repeated twice, and both times, bystanders react differently. In the first scenario, a woman intervenes and defends the puppy, while in the second scenario, a girl calls her father to report the incident after the actresses leave the puppy alone. The girl's reaction is particularly moving, and she is later praised by the show's host for her compassion. The host reveals that the puppy is actually a prop, and the actresses were part of the experiment. The girl is thanked for her kindness, and her actions are held up as an example for others to follow.
