Living in Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás, Benjamin Castro and Alane Assis are a couple who do not hesitate to dedicate themselves to helping defenseless beings found suffering on the streets.
An example of this occurred earlier this month. Alane wasdriving down the street where she lives when she spotted an abandoned dog in a vacant lot.
Saddened by the scene, the woman called her husband, asking him to rescue the animal. And so he did!
The rescue
Benjamin prepared a small bowl of food. As he walked to the location, he hoped the dog was still there, as it had been a while since his wife’s call.
When he got there, the pet remained the same, lying curled up in the middle of the bushes. But fearful, he wouldn’t let anyone get close, growling at Benjamin.
The poor thing must have been really mistreated to act like that, right? Besides, he didn’t want to eat or drink anything.
After an hour trying to capture the dog, which turned out to be a female, Benjamin, with Alane’s help, managed to rescue the stray dog.
New home
Benjamin leashed his dogs so they wouldn’t feel threatened and attack the newly rescued dog. He then released the dog into the yard with food and water, where she remained, squeamish, huddled near the wall.
Little by little, the pet began to explore the new environment, lying down in different spots around the yard. However, she still wouldn’t allow Benjamin to approach.
It was then that, with patience and love, Alane won the little stray’s trust! And it wasn’t long before Benjamin won her little heart too.
With her trust gained, the little dog took a nice and relaxing bath given to her by her ‘mommy’.
If one day this princess who was named Alice suffered on the streets, today she has a beautiful family who loves her very much!
The stray dog had difficulty winning the friendship of the other dogs living in the house. But with her owners acting as mediators, the older dogs gradually began to accept the presence of the new member of the family.
Repercussion
Benjamin shared the story of Alice’s rescue in a video on his TikTok profile on March 5, racking up over 4.5 million views and thousands of comments.
“I was the only one who cried watching this video, tears of happiness. Congratulations family, may God bless you,” commented one internet user.
“She calls her husband and he goes to get the dog. If that’s not love, then I don’t know it,” wrote another.
“You and your wife are two angels!!!”, exclaimed a third.
In a gesture of love and compassion, the couple Benjamin Castro and Alane Assis rescued the stray dog Alice from the streets, offering her a new home and a loving family.
The story not only touched the hearts of netizens but also highlights the importance of extending a helping hand to animals in need.
May this act of kindness inspire others to do the same, ensuring a better future for abandoned animals.
