Goran is a man of few words, but he loves animals and cares deeply for stray animals, regularly feeding stray dogs...
That day, when he went to feed the stray dogs, he noticed that there was an extra little stray dog there.
It's a very small puppy, completely unable to survive on its own. The puppy is all alone and helpless, seemingly abandoned here because it was sick...
There was a lot of trash around it; it looked like trash that had been dumped there.
If you don't look closely, you might not even notice that there is a little life here.
Goran observed it for a while and discovered that it had made a discarded shoe its temporary "home"...
It roams around the shoes, running to hide beside them when it hears a noise, and even rests next to them...
It was so small, yet it was all alone. There was no mother dog by its side, nor any trace of human care for it. All it owned in this world was this shoe.
Goran fed it some food, which the puppy wolfed down; it's unclear how long it had been since it had eaten...
If I leave it alone, this little life probably won't even last a few days.
When Goran left, he took the puppy with him and named it Smesten. The little guy probably didn't know that its fate was about to take a turn...
Goran took it to the vet, gave it love, and a warm home. Under his care, Smesten slowly recovered its health...
It also regained the nature of a puppy, loving to play and frolic, lively and mischievous.
When the power goes out, it rolls over at its owner's feet and falls asleep on its back.
It has many brothers and sisters, all of whom were rescued by Goran, just like it. Although it was very small inside, they were all dogs that had suffered hardships, and everyone took good care of it.
This is six months after being found; Smesten has grown into a large dog that tries to appear mature...
I wonder if it still remembers using shoes as its "home" when it was little. Fortunately, it has long since figured out what a real "home" is.
It can be said that Smesten only had a chance to survive because it met Goran, and its life was not frozen next to that shoe.
Goran feeds about 100 stray cats and dogs on the street every day. Although one person's strength is limited, he still tries his best to help these stray animals because these little lives are truly worth it.
It feels like a fairy tale, about a little stray dog who meets a magician who can turn an old shoe into a warm castle...
May more puppies waiting for a chance to be born be lucky enough to encounter the "magic of love" and have a real home.
