This is a homeless old man. He is squatting by the roadside, holding a bowl of food, and eating with great satisfaction.

According to people in the neighborhood, the old man was a homeless man who made a living by scavenging garbage.

The old man who looked after the construction site saw that the old man came to the site every day to pick up other people's leftovers and felt very sorry for him, so he gave him a meal.

The old man was overjoyed, but he only ate rice and vegetables, sharing the few pieces of meat he had with the stray dogs nearby...

  

An old man at the construction site asked him: "You can't even feed yourself, how come you keep so many dogs?"

The old man smiled and said, "I found them all in the trash can. If I hadn't brought them back, they would have suffocated in the garbage."

Although it's just a simple sentence, how many people can actually do it?

The old man continued: I understand what it's like to be a homeless person. It's so pitiful that they have to go through this when they're so young.

  

An old man at the construction site advised the elderly: "Your health is also very important. Take good care of yourself and eat more."

But the old man said: I have no relatives. I am already this old. These few dogs keep me company. I can't let them starve to death as long as I have food to eat.

  

For this old man, just surviving was already difficult enough, and now he also had to take care of several small dogs. You can imagine how difficult his life was.

Even so, he never mistreated the dogs; they were all plump and healthy.

Seeing this, how ashamed those who abandoned their dogs for personal reasons should feel.

I hope that both the elderly and the dogs will stay healthy and have a smooth winter...
