Animals accept a person solely on the basis of his inner qualities, not on the basis of his social standing. All they require is attention and love.
However, not everyone is prepared to treat our four-legged friends with respect, and they are left in the street, as if they were an inconvenience.
Today, though, we shall discuss a man who may truly be described as a hero. Sam Pesic is from Italy, and he wanted to create a large refuge for stray dogs there.
He had no idea how packed the shelter would be when he first launched it 14 years ago.
And there are currently 760 dogs in the facilities. And he made the decision after seeing two puppies on his way home from work.
The man could not pass by without thinking about it, and he began to consider how he might help them.
He began by enlisting the help of individuals to help him create a shelter where the dogs would always be fed and kept warm.
Sam accepts donations from all over the world, and the shelter is only able to operate because of them.
