We can all show love without spending a single penny. Sometimes, all we need is a kind heart, our time, and, for this story, a sweeper’s broom. One man had those in hand when he showered a random stray pup with a lot of love.
A sweet video posted on Twitter captured a kind street sweeper taking a short break from his work to pet a random stray dog lying close to where he was sweeping. It seemed like the pup didn’t ask for a rub and was minding her own business, but the man decided to approach the pup. What a pleasant surprise it was for the pup when she was suddenly showered with attention when she least expected it. Although she was startled, she welcomed the rubs and even asked for more.
The video shows the man using his broom to comb the dog’s fur, starting from the dog’s back all the way to her paws. The pup, who clearly enjoyed the attention she got, then turned to lie on her back to expose her belly and waited for the street sweeper’s broom to give her belly some love too. The street sweeper gladly did so.
But the street sweeper didn’t stop there; he then placed his broom aside, bent down, and started rubbing the dog with his hands. He even reassuringly patted the dog’s head as if saying ‘good dog.’ As for the stray dog, the video showed him looking adoringly toward the man, no doubt very thankful for the free pets.
It might be very likely that the stray dog hasn’t received any pets from anyone for a long time. But thanks to the kind-hearted street sweeper, the dog was able to feel what it’s like to be loved again. The posted video didn’t mention where or when the touching incident was filmed, but no matter the case, all of us can learn a lesson from the video. It shows love is free of charge and that it is always welcomed.
