Epitome Of Compassion: Video Shows Beggar Feeding Stray Dogs From His Own Plate

The year 2020 has not exactly been very kind to people so far. The only way to make things a little easy, is to not forget to be kind. Kindness is contagious and even a small gesture can make a massive difference.

While humans have been finding myriad ways to deal with the lockdown, it's the stray animals who are witnessing the worst of it. Not many think about feeding them. Thousands of stray dogs depend on daily markets, restaurants and local good Samaritans, like this man, to feed them.

According to a report in NDTV, after a large milk container overturned and spilt a stream of milk down the road on Agra¡¯s Ram Bagh Chauraha, a pack of dogs started drinking the spilt milk. The dogs were joined by a man who attempted to collect as much milk as possible in a small earthen pot. The incident allegedly took place a mere six kilometres away from the Taj Mahal.

Amid this time of crisis, it is extremely important to be compassionate and look out for those who need help. After all, we are in this together!
