Heartwarming! Kind Shopkeeper Lets Stray Dog Take Shelter Inside His Shop During Heavy Rain, Watch Video
Video of a shopkeeper offering shelter to a stray dog stranded outside in heavy rain reportedly in Mumbai is going viral, exemplifying little acts of kindness.
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.

In the video that was apparently shot in Mumbai, one can see a dog sitting on a mat outside a shop while it's pouring heavily. Clearly, the dog is trying to keep dry and making do with whatever kind of 'shelter' it can. The caption of the video explains what happened next. ¡®This soul was sitting in front of shop during heavy rains, the kind owner of the shop noticed and allowed her to come inside¡¯.
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. The caption is fitting: 'This world is filled with cruel people, there are many who harm animals but such kind humans bring up a hope that still humanity exist! One of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another or any living species is kindness¡¯.

Further, the caption reads, ¡®Do not wait for a thank you, because kindness is an act of giving without the expectation of something in return¡¯.
The dog, it seems, is trying to take as little space as possible. The person who let the dog in made sure that at least one stray in the city didn't shiver in the cold. How we treat those in need is a reflection of the kind of a person we are. And this shopkeeper is a hero.
