Garcia's own granddaughter, Brooklyn Burney, found out about the story from a friend on Facebook. Burney said, "And just like everyone else, I cried."

Asked why she cried, Burney said, "Because everybody else can see the real her."

People like Colleen and Stan Rothschild of Plano, Texas, and others emailed CBS News, asking how they could help Garcia and her dog, offering everything from veterinary help for Bowser to donations for Garcia.

Colleen Rothschild said, "Stan and I both have mothers that are widowers, they live alone, and it just touched us."

Erin DeRuggiero set up an account to raise money on a site called GoFundMe.com. DeRuggiero said, "I was just so moved by Barbara. I was really just compelled, personally, to do something."

In 24 hours, she says, the site gathered more than $1,500 in donations. For Garcia, who had no homeowner's insurance, it's all almost too much. Garcia said, "I didn't know I was that important. I really and truly didn't. I just thank everybody."
