The internet is making a video on the internet where one σκύλος approaches a homeless man in the middle of the street and hugs him.
It seems that, in fact, the dog may be the man’s best friend, either with the interactions of a life or when out of nowhere he reaches out and welcomes him in difficult times.
The moving scene shows the sensitivity that exists in the animal world and can often be lacking in humans.
There are countless files we find surfing the internet for animals that show up empathy gestures, and this time, it was a Labrador dog that stole the show.
In addition to being wonderful dogs, companions and providing us with security, in these images, we can see another quality of dogs: they ignore the crises and prejudices that we humans create against us.
Dog hugs homeless man in the middle of the sidewalk
The video is played in one busy sidewalk located in an unknown city. In the pictures that made the rounds of the internet, we see a man sitting on the sidewalk, who due to his clothes and long hair is believed to be άστεγος. The animal approaches the subject slowly, looking straight ahead, as if curious about the man’s condition. The dog sits in front of the man for a moment and then approaches him, resting his body on the man’s lap, in a kind of “hug” between dog and man.
The expression on the man’s face changes instantly, if before he only showed fatigue and indifference, when the animal is cuddled in his arms, the stranger seems to smile and reciprocate the hug, in addition to caressing the animal many times.
As several people crossed the city center, ignoring this man and so many others in difficulty, a dog decided to do something different. This man may have felt completely lost, invisible to others, but that dog he had never seen reminded him that someone saw his existence and that there were still reasons to smile, such as the pleasure of being able to hug a dog.
The affectionate embrace of the quadruped
Η affectionate embrace it was all the animal had, however, even though it looked small, it was enough to make the man and everyone who saw the pictures or had contact with the pictures smile. It brought joy and encouragement to many more people than expected.
It was as if the dog’s hug was telling the man that whatever he was facing would pass soon and he would have a reason to smile effortlessly in the future.
The original video was reposted hundreds of times on social media and was accessed by more than 7 million users, according to the Metrópoles newspaper. Definitely a viral that left many people unaffected by the dog’s empathy. He was in the right place at the right time, showing a little affection for a would-be homeless, a group of marginalized and generally cold-blooded people.
