In the city of Rio do Sul in southern Brazil, there is a man who is homeless and known for sharing his food with stray dogs. When he needed emergency medical attention, the dogs he had been feeding didn’t abandon him and kept him company during his difficult time.
Nurse Cris Mamprim and her colleagues at Hospital Regional Alto Vale in Rio do Sul, Brazil witnessed the remarkable loyalty of stray dogs when a homeless man named César arrived at the emergency room seeking treatment and medication for his health condition on December 9, 2018, at around 3 a.m. The homeless man had been feeding these stray dogs, and they accompanied him to the hospital to ensure that he was not alone in his time of need.
Since César normally goes to another medical facility in town, the staff at Hospital Regional Alto Vale were unfamiliar with his condition and personal history when he arrived there seeking medical attention for the first time.
Soon after César arrived at the hospital, the nurses noticed that a group of four stray dogs had come to the entrance and were waiting for him. They were worried about their homeless owner who had been sacrificing his own food to feed them. The nurses had no prior knowledge of César’s condition or background.
Nurse Cris Mamprim captured the heartwarming sight of the four stray dogs waiting at the entrance of the Hospital Regional Alto Vale in Rio do Sul, Brazil, as their homeless owner, César, was being treated inside. Mamprim took a picture of the scene and posted it on her Facebook account, sharing how touched she was to see the unwavering loyalty of the dogs to their owner.
In her Facebook post, Mamprim expressed how a person who has very little is capable of having the best companions in life, and that the bond between the man and his dogs is a reciprocal exchange of love, affection, warmth, and understanding. She mentioned that the man, despite having limited resources, takes care of the dogs and even sacrifices his own meals to feed them. In an interview with The Dodo, Mamprim added that the dogs are all well-fed and in good shape.
After waiting for César, the loyal dogs finally saw their owner come out of the hospital. The staff allowed the dogs to come inside the hospital and reunite with César. The medical staff provided César with the necessary medication he needed and also offered him some food.
After César received the necessary medication, the hospital staff allowed his loyal dogs to come inside to reunite with him. Mamprim observed that César ate some food offered by the staff and saved some to give to his dogs later. About an hour later, César left the hospital with his four furry companions trailing behind him.
Mamprim expressed her admiration for César’s love and respect for his dogs, despite his own difficult circumstances. She also wished that everyone was as kind and caring towards animals as César.
The post made by Mamprim received a lot of attention and generated an emotional response from many people, garnering over 136,000 reactions and more than 24,000 comments. One user expressed their admiration for the touching scene, while another thanked the staff for taking care of the dogs.
César may not have much material wealth or family to rely on, but his kind and caring nature ensures that he is never alone.
