Homeless man saves a dog from death - then his own life changes

A homeless man in Salt Lake City, Utah has been rewarded for his love of animals in an amazing way. The inspiring story is reported by local media such as Fox 13 News.

When a woman happened to drive past the homeless on the way home at the end of March, she saw that he was holding a small dog next to his cardboard sign. He had wrapped the chihuahua in a blanket to protect him from freezing.

The woman felt sorry for the homeless man. Actually, she just wanted to offer him a cigarette - but changed his life with it from scratch.

Homeless person rescued a small dog from death

The online animal magazine "The Dodo" tells the woman that she had felt so inspired during the brief conversation with the homeless man who calls himself Ron that she decided to help him.

Ron told the woman that he had watched just under two hours before a dog owner had exposed the Chihuahua. He took care of the animal - and wanted to find a new home for the little dog.

"He was just trying to do the right thing so that the dog would not become as homeless as he," the woman told the animal magazine. The woman could not take the Chihuahua herself, but promised Ron to share a call on Facebook.

Everything changed now

Because of this very call now animal rights activist Kathleen Dallmann became aware of Ron. Dallmann wanted to take care of the dog until the Chihuahua would find a suitable home.

Dallmann wanted to give the homeless $ 50 as a sign of their gratitude. But Ron said no, as the woman reports "The Dodo". He was exclusively concerned with the welfare of the little dog.

"He was in tears because he could help the dog find a home," Dallmann said. "He said he knew what it was like to be homeless, and he did not want the dog to be homeless."

Happy ending for the dog: family adopted the Chihuahua

Dallmann, who temporarily took care of the dog, did not take long to find a new home for the Chihuahua. A mother and her daughter adopted the dog and called him Lucky Louie.

The animal rights activist did not let go of the thought of the homeless man: "He did not even have a place for himself. So I set up a GoFundMe page for him. I did not know if anyone would donate anything - but now it's almost $ 500. "

When the animal rights activist handed the homeless money to the homeless Ron, she captured the moment on a video and shared it on Facebook.

Homeless people should be rewarded for their selfless actions

"He had tears in his eyes. He could not believe that people would do such a great thing for him. When I gave him the money, he wanted some of it to be used to care for the dog. But I told him it was just for him. "

Ron explained that he finally wanted to find a job. So, according to the media report, he bought a cell phone to look for jobs and stay available.

"Now that he has a phone, we can get in touch," said Dallmann. "He really wants to find a job. Like the dog, everyone deserves a second chance in life. "
