A heartwarming story from Brazil is quickly garnering the attention of thousands across social media platforms worldwide.
Every day, a destitute man in Rio do Sul, South Brazil would provide food to the local strays without expecting any repayment; however, when he became ill and required urgent medical attention, his loyal furry friends came to him so that he didn’t feel alone.
The emergency room of Hospital Regional Alto Vale was witness to an extraordinary exhibit of camaraderie as Nurse Cris Mamprim and her colleagues observed the homeless man, César, being greeted by his furry friends
As César stepped into the hospital for the first time, he was accompanied by four stray dogs. Unfamiliar with his medical history and condition, Mamprim and the other nurses were taken aback at this surprising sight.
Mamprim recently posted an image on Facebook, expressing that while their owner was receiving treatment at the hospital where they work, three companions patiently waited outside for him – even at 3 am. What a beautiful scene to witness!
Mamprim declared, “We’ve seen those without the luxuries in life that rely on support to overcome their struggles and they are blessed with the most loyal companions. What a beautiful exchange of love, affection, comfort, and understanding! We heard from one individual who even abstains from food just so he can feed his animal friends.” Mamprim went on to add further details about this remarkable relationship between these people in need and their furry companions.
With a comforting smile, she assured César that his beloved pets were all in good health and happily plump. Their joyous reunion was only moments away as the faithful canines anticipated their owner’s return with eagerness and anticipation. And sure enough, within no time at all they reunited with their master!
The staff, upon tending to the man’s needs, graciously allowed his four dogs inside and even provided food for them. According to Mamprim, César happily ate some of it himself before saving a bit for his companions later. After an hour or so spent in the hospital with their master by their side, all five of them left together – tails wagging joyously!
Mamprim observed, “I’m not familiar with his circumstances or why he has to live this way, but I admire the devotion and affection he provides to these animals. It’s evident how much they are cherished and looked after just by their eagerness at the door. If only more people were like him—it would be a world without any cruelty or injustice.”
It’s no surprise that Cesar Mamprim’s post went viral with over 136,000 reactions and 24,000 comments. Even though he is homeless, Cesar demonstrates how much room there is in his heart for animals; we who have comfortable homes should take a page from him today!
