Heartwarming! Kind Shopkeeper Lets Stray Dog Take Shelter Inside His Shop During Heavy Rain, Watch Video

Lately we have seen a lot of incidents of animal cruelty and brutality coming to light. However, while there are some humans who deserve to be punished for the way they treat animals there are those who shower strays and other animals with kindness.

Many states in the country are witnessing heavy rains, which means strays who do not have the ‘luxury’ of shelter are stuck outside helpless. And as heartbreaking as that is, there's a silver lining here too.

Take for instance the video posted on Instagram by a page called 'Street dogs of Bombay' that has gone viral for all the right reasons.? ?

?As can be seen from the video, the dog was hesitant initially but decided to take the human up on his kind offer.?‘She was a little doubtful but later she accepted the kind gesture and came inside,’ the caption read.?

It is a small act of kindness but it speaks volumes.
