As a group of friends walked towards the park, a woman noticed a charming little dog on the street. Feeling a rush of affection for the pup, she offered him some sausages and was astounded by his response. The heartwarming video captured the dog standing on his hind legs, pawing at the air, as though he was applauding the woman’s kindness. The woman later recounted how the dog’s eyes seemed to fill with tears when he received the food.

In another segment of the video, it was shown that the lady revisited the canine once more, and he promptly recognized her. He scampered towards her, giving the impression that he was eagerly anticipating her arrival. A Douyin user left a comment saying, “All living things possess a spirit, treat them with compassion.”

The lady captured the charming moment of the dog wagging its tail while she fed him sausages. She speculated that the dog did not want to get inside her vehicle because he probably mistook her for someone else.

The woman who spotted a small pup wandering around the streets was concerned about its safety. She had heard of dog catchers using vans to trap dogs, so she worried that the pup might mistake her for one of them. She went back to the area a few days later to look for the dog, but unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. She even planned on asking the cleaners if they had seen the pup nearby. The video of her encounter with the dog went viral online, and many viewers expressed their thoughts and emotions in the comments section.

A comment on Douyin caught the attention of many viewers with its philosophical message: “Every living thing has a spirit, and it deserves kindness”. While most people appreciated the sentiment, some felt sadness towards the dog in the video. One viewer even made a point about dogs being emotional creatures that reciprocate love and care. Conversely, another viewer believed that the poor pup made a misjudgment by trusting humans, fearing that the notorious dog-catchers may have taken it away. This led her to speculate that the dog might not even be there anymore.
