Meet Sora, TikTok user and his father Colzouti.
Each and every day, the fluffy, friendly pup brings joy to his proud parent’s life. But Sora’s big heart and loving spirit aren’t directed at him alone.
One day, while out for a walk near their home in Paris, Sora made a new friend — a man experiencing homelessness, named Bruno. That chance meeting changed Colzouti’s heart, and ultimately Bruno’s circumstances, too.
“Sora stopped short in front of a young man sitting in front of his tent,” Colzouti wrote. “Their eyes meet and Sora leaps forward to go see him. I stopped Sora instantly, reflexively and full of preconceived ideas. I acknowledge. [the man]He decided to go, but Sora resists. He looks at Bruno. I call him again, but he doesn’t respond. I decided to attach his leash and nudge him away, and that’s when Sora looks at me with eyes only a dog can give. Bruno gave a big smile.”
Colzouti was touched to see his dog’s warmth toward a man down on his luck. It was a bridge that Colzouti built to show empathy for others.
“At that moment, I realized two things: That my dog and a stranger had everything to teach me about loving your neighbor,” Colzouti wrote. “And that I will do what it takes to thank this stranger who taught me this valuable lesson.”
These visits have become a daily part of our lives.
Colzouti provided him with food, clothing, and support to get his life back on track.
Their efforts paid off.
Bruno has enjoyed a great deal of success since the videos were posted online.
“Bruno changed his life. He no longer lives on the street,” Colzouti told The Dodo. “This story has greatly helped him get off the streets.”
