When This Bus Driver Saw Stray Dogs Shivering In The Storm, He Stopped To Do An Amazing Thing

ADVERTISEMENT

A week ago Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires was hit by a severe thunderstorm when one local bus driver saw two frightened pooches in the rain outside and stopped to help. He carried the shivering doggies aboard a bus and offered them a free ride. Stella Maris San Martín, who became a witness to this beautiful act of kindess, told Minuto Uno: “He never tried to put them off. He spoke to them like they were his own.” The woman also took a picture where we see one of the dogs resting at the driver’s feet.

The driver has become a hero, but his identity remains a mystery. Even though pets are normally not allowed on the buses, the bus drivers’s authorities in Buenos Aires have praised his actions too, calling it a show of solidarity.

This is exactly why I love living in this great city! The generosity of the people is undeniable. I also love the specific porteño accent. I think it makes the Argentines stand out in a crowd of Spanish speakers. This article helped me to understand what accents are present in Latin America. https://sl24.com.ar/2019/04/acentos-en-america-latina-cuales-son-las-variedades/

This man deserves a raise or at least a bonus and should receive a medal from their town.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" shouldn't be meant for only other human beings, but all who are in need, including animals. I love to read about ppl like this and know they're kindness is being acknowledged. Makes my days brighter to hear stories like this.
