His owner who was homeless truly did love his dog. To be able to give your beloved dog to someone else because you knew it was in their best interest is real love. If love is anything it is not selfish. I hope the dog continues to have a great life and his previous owner is able to find a home.

1 Kings 3:16-28 recounts that two mothers living in the same house, each the mother of an infant son, came to Solomon. One of the babies had been smothered, and each claimed the remaining boy as her own. Calling for a sword, Solomon declared his judgment: the baby would be cut in two, each woman to receive half. One mother did not contest the ruling, declaring that if she could not have the baby then neither of them could, but the other begged Solomon, "Give the baby to her, just don't kill him!" The king declared the second woman the true mother, as a mother would even give up her baby if that was necessary to save its life.

Hero’s “ pure goodness” is a testament to the person who lost the love of this wonderful pup in California. While with this person, Hero must have spent a good deal of his time , outside, on a mat . That is why he finds comfort on a mat and wishes to share this comfort with his new Mom. My heart breaks for Hero and the homeless person on the loss of their love but my heart sings for the loving and compassionate relationship Hero has with his perfect and peaceful loving home in Canada.

[@BunnyQueen97]

“We think that’s where his magic comes from” ❤ I’m really proud of the human being who chose to give Hero to a softer life that they themselves couldn’t yet achieve, and I hope they’re somewhere doing so much better today. ETA two months later and I HATE the conversation that started below this reply. All people deserve shelter, deserve food, deserve safety - those are human rights, and in the wealthiest nation in the world where we throw BILLIONS of tons of fresh food and new products into landfill every day, they should not be denied to anyone or anything. I work with people on the streets and they are the BEST pet owners. Their dogs would have been homeless regardless, THEY ARE ALSO BORN ON THE STREETS AND NO ONE RESCUES THEM, but instead of being feral and afraid they have a family and someone to find nutritious food for them. In return, the dogs keep a watchful eye over their companions and whatever home they’re able to find. I hope none of you end up homeless, but if you do I hope you find yourself with life-saving companionship like Hero’s!

[@freidaelliott8769]

That's a really beautiful thing to say! My sentiments exactly, but you said it so much better. It would have been real easy to be selfish and keep this great dog for the comfort he provided to his person. But thankfully, Hero really was well-loved so his owner did right by him. I imagine it was sooo hard to say goodbye and I bet that person still misses him and thinks of him daily. I really hope you're right and that person is doing much better now. I truly hope he found a situation with the same huge amount of compassion to give as he did himself 🥰🥰🥰

Sylvester Stallone once had to give up his beloved dog when he was broke and couldn't afford food for his dog, long story short, he got his dog back after starring in his first movie and made money, he had to give thousands of dollars to the person that gave back his dog though, but it was a happy ending, he got rich and got his dog back.

Depends, but giving the dog up just cause you're homeless isn't necessarily best. Dog needs three things and only cares about two. Love from it's master, and food. It also needs immunizations kept up to date. Hard to give away a dog you have no idea what's going to happen to it. The tough part being homeless with a dog is all on the dog owner, it's really difficult if it's just you and the dog.

I was homeless myself a long time ago and while I never had a dog, one thing you find is that homeless people's dogs are often well-balanced - mainly due, I believe, to the fact that they are never alone; they're always in their pack, and aren't left locked in a house by themselves like many family pets. I have no idea how Hero stays so muscled with all that laying around, though 🙂

This is similar to my Luna's story! She was also surrendered by her owner who had become homeless and had been living out of his car. He just knew it wasn't a good life for her and so he surrendered her to the shelter. I got her when she was 3 after she'd been at the shelter for a few weeks and she was very quiet and sad for the first few months. Even so, she was always sweet and you could tell how well trained and well loved she had been. Unlike Hero, she absolutely loves walks and while she gets excited to go for rides in the car, when she does, she picks her "spot" and is basically silent and unmoving for however long you are in the car. It's eerie how quiet she gets because at home she's very....communicative LOL. But in the car? You'll sometimes forget she's even there. I think that's something she learned to do when they were living out of a car because her personality just transforms during car rides - even like 8 hour ones when we go to visit family. She's the best dog and I've been so lucky to have her for the last 7 years. Rescues are the BEST. I couldn't love her more if I tried! I also never knew much about her prior owner but I can't imagine how hard it must have been to give her up. I think about him from time to time and always hope he's in a better place now and has a home and other doggies to love because he was clearly a great dog Dad.

I love that he recognized the emotions from his owner and brought her the shower mat 😢such a good boy

[@sherryjacobs3907]

I hope the previous guardian sees this and knows Hero is living a life full of love and comfort. It was such a great act of kindness and selflessness that led Hero to you. The marking is cool. It was meant to be.

Dogs are often the only love & company individuals facing homelessness have because so many people treat them lower than dirt and won’t even make eye contact with them. He was selfless and strong for handing over the dog to the rescue. He sacrificed his own happiness so his friend could have a chance at a better life. I hope he gets help. I hope finds a safe warm place to call home. I hope he finds another dog to give all his love to.

I started tearing up when you said about the bathroom, mate is so unbelievable that he knew that feeling that you transferred to him and wanted to comfort you is a blessing I bet the homeless man give this puppy the best of his heart and show him kindness to the fullest. Thank the last owner for giving him a better life even it broke his heart God will bless him

[@missf4681]

He's absolutely beautiful. What a sweet face. Thank you for giving this wonderful soul a forever home where he will get the love care and life ❤️ that he so deserves ❤️

That homeless person was great for thinking about the dog and did right by him by taking him to a shelter…now he has a great place with loving ppl…I want to adopt a dog one day when able to…these stories pull at my heart strings…my little dog passed away a year ago now and it still makes me emotional

[@denisekenney6436]

He’s sweet you can just see it in his eyes. I don’t blame him for not wanting to go outside after being without shelter for two years and it’s great that his human knew that Hero needed a good home. 😊

So glad Hero has a forever, loving home and gets to stay inside with his blankets and a soft place to sleep.

[@mj6962]

God bless that original owner. And God bless this beautiful dog. I hope one day the two can be reunited for a day, if only for a visit.

[@katreid4205]

You can see this boy had the hardest yet most loving upbringing, he must still miss his old friend who did the right thing. I feel for him yet am happy to see he will have a better life. Let's hope his first love has the same luck.

[@geovannahamelin1845]

GOD bless you both 🙏 you will give a wonderful life to this handsome dog 🐶♥️🙏

[@kathybrandt6060]

He is one very lucky dog. To be love so much that his first owner gave him away to make sure he had everything he needed. One very lucky dog.

[@geselagrendel630]

Hero is just so beautiful and precious, he deserves all you two give him. Look after him and he'll look after you! 🇬🇧💖🐾

[@beccabean5770]

The marking on his back matching the lake nearby is just - wow. Meant to be.

[@sparkle3000]

I know he still thinks about his first dad. Animals never forget.

[@tinabobina856]

He is such a good boy. My heart always breaks for the homeless I see with dogs; the dogs always have jackets on and are well taken care of.

[@haleybunker1339]

Wow, what a beautiful, gorgeous dog!😍🐕😍

[@IlluminatedWings]

I love how he wants to stay inside and snuggle on the couch!❤🐶 He is full of magic!✨

[@timeforthinkers7418]

What a CHARACTER! You got a real keeper there, a real sweetheart. Congratulations on winning the rescue dog lottery.

[@cherylgawne711]

I hope the old owner gets to see how well he’s doing and knows he made the correct choice for his baby!!!

[@sandyfarley260]

This dog is SO loved! You can just tell by the "baby", slightly goofy look on his face all the time!

[@theresaann7388]

Dogs are more smarter than we give them credit for. He sure did realize your emotional state, And that was the sweetest thing bringing you the bathroom rug, I would have cried even more.

[@armageddonready4071]

He don’t want to leave because he knows HOW GOOD LIFE IS. Dogs are so smart, it’s scary. Yeah they can be meat lumps most of the time, but then they do something that will amaze you.
