Husky makes friends with a homeless man and changes his life
Paris, France - A dog named Sora made a special connection with a man experiencing homelessness, and the animal's affection motivated his owner to make a big difference.
TikTok user Colzouti posted a heartwarming video and wrote that when his dog first saw a homeless man sitting in front of his tent, he stopped and stared.
"Their eyes meet and Sora leaps forward to go see him. Reflexively, filled with preconceived ideas, I stopped Sora immediately," he said.
At first, Colzouti didn't want his dog to interact with the stranger.
But the dog and the homeless man exchanged a glance, and the man smiled. Sora gave his owner a pleading look that broke his heart.
"At that moment, I realized two things," Colzouti told the Dodo, "That my dog and a stranger had everything to teach me about loving your neighbor and that I will do what it takes to thank this stranger who taught me this valuable lesson."
Colzouti let his pup interact with the man, who introduced himself as Bruno. The chance meeting proved life changing, as Sora and his owner started visiting Bruno every day on their daily walks.
A husky's hugs and owner's help got the homeless man off the streets
The husky gave Bruno hugs and lots of doggy love. Colzouti was moved, and brought Bruno food, drinks, and clothing.
Over time, the dog owner offered to help Bruno get his life back on track.
Colzouti told the Dodo that since he posted the now viral TikTok vid, "Bruno has turned his life around, he's not living on the streets anymore."
"Their connection is touching, moving and very sincere. Sora has a mad love for human beings. And he shows it as soon as we give him the opportunity."
Now that Bruno no longer lives nearby, Sora doesn't see him on a daily basis. But the two buddies still meet up for playdates in the park.
Their story has shown the power of animal love and that human aid shouldn't be underestimated. The pup and TikToker helped changed Bruno's life for the better.
